PATEK PHILIPPE GOLDEN ELLIPSE – Ref. 3848 – 18k Yellow Gold – Blue Sigma Dial – Box & Papers – 1985 – Very Good

We are pleased to present this elegant and beautifully preserved Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Ref. 3848, crafted in 18k yellow gold and featuring its iconic blue Sigma dial — a timeless expression of Patek Philippe’s refined design language.

Introduced as part of the Golden Ellipse collection, reference 3848 perfectly embodies the harmony and balance derived from the golden ratio, a principle that has defined this model since its inception. The slim elliptical case in warm yellow gold offers a classic yet unmistakably sophisticated presence on the wrist.

The rich blue Sigma dial, distinguished by the σ σ marks flanking “Swiss,” confirms the use of solid gold dial furniture. Free of numerals and accented by elegant yellow-gold baton hands and applied markers, the dial is a masterclass in restraint and purity, allowing the iconic case shape to take center stage.

Powering this Golden Ellipse is Patek Philippe’s renowned caliber 215 movement, prized for its reliability, precision, and exceptionally slim profile — an ideal match for the watch’s elegant proportions.

Dating to 1985, this example is offered in excellent overall condition and is accompanied by its original box and papers, a significant advantage for collectors seeking completeness and authenticity.
