PATEK PHILIPPE GOLDEN ELLIPSE WITH APPLIED GILT BREGUET DIAL, REF. 3848/8J

Introduced in 1968, the Golden Ellipse was Patek Philippe’s boldest design departure of the late 20th century, inspired by the divine proportions of the golden ratio. The ref. 3848, launched soon after, became one of the earliest and most iconic executions of the Ellipse concept, notable for its ultra-thin profile and purist aesthetics. This ref. 3848/8J is cased in 18k yellow gold and fitted with a gold dial with applied gold Breguet numerals, a striking monochromatic variant that enhances the model’s timeless minimalism. Furthermore, the factory original, rice grain bracelet (generously sized to fit a 7 inch wrist) enhances the overall look of this 1970s icon.

Collectability Says:
“The ref. 3848 was among the earliest Golden Ellipses produced, and the gilt dial variant adds a sophisticated and distinctly 1970s flair.”
