PATEK PHILIPPE Ellipse d’Or Ref. 3747 – “Jumbo Date” – 1980s

A standout Ellipse in its most charismatic guise: the Jumbo case with date and a factory integrated 18k yellow-gold bracelet. The deep blue sunburst dial is wonderfully vibrant, radiating from the pinion and shifting beautifully in changing light. Indices and hands are slim and minimalist, keeping the composition pure while the date at 3 o’clock adds practical punch. The bracelet is the rarely seen configuration with a folding clasp – a notable and desirable detail -measuring approximately 17.5 cm total length, ideal for slimmer wrists. Overall condition is nice and well-preserved, with crisp case lines and a bracelet that remains taut and elegant on the wrist. A refined yet statement-making take on one of Patek Philippe’s most enduring designs.
