Patek Philippe Ellipse 3548

Introduced in 1968, the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse broke from traditional round and rectangular case designs with its distinctive oval silhouette. The case proportions are based on the golden ratio (1:1.618), a mathematical principle found throughout art and architecture. The reference 3548 represents an earlier generation of the model, powered by the reliable manual-wind Calibre 16-250. The inclusion of the Extract from the Archives confirms the watch’s production details and adds significant provenance for collectors.
