-Description

Patek Philippe is a watchmaker founded in Geneva in 1839. The company makes watches without any compromise by utilizing its unparalleled quality and technical expertise.

Along with Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet, it is known as the Big Three, one of the world's three major brands, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has established a special position among them.

In addition to continuing to be one of the world's finest manufactures, the extremely small number of watches produced makes this brand synonymous with luxury watches. The independence of being a family-run business and the reliability of knowing that all watches can be repaired create value as an asset that can be passed down through generations.

This watch is a hand-wound Golden Ellipse reference 3848 manufactured in the 1970s.

The Golden Ellipse, which was first released in 1968, had a design that was completely different from the round and rectangular cases that had been available up until that point, and it made a big impact.

The ellipse, which is a fusion of a circle and a rectangle, and the aspect ratio of the case (1:1.6181) are the "golden ratio" said to have been discovered by a Greek mathematician, and these form the basis of the name.

The case is made of 18K yellow gold and is 27mm wide and 32mm tall, but because it is oval shaped, it doesn't look as big as the numbers suggest, giving the impression of being on the small side.

The dial is a very rare brown dial. This dial can be seen on the Ref. 3738 with automatic movement in rose gold and white gold case, but is a rare dial variation rarely seen on this reference 3848.

The color is a reddish brown and looks like burgundy. Please see multiple photos as it changes depending on the angle.

The movement used is the hand-wound Cal. 215. It is a small movement measuring 10 inches (approximately 22.5 mm) in size and was introduced around 1978 as the successor to the Cal. 23-300.

It is a very classic, thin, hand-wound movement that also has modern performance capabilities, and is still used in current models such as the Ref. 5196, even after more than 40 years.

It comes with original boxes and paper, yellow gold buckle.
