The present Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse reference 3738, executed in yellow gold and dating to the 1980s, is an elegant and honest example of one of the manufacture’s most distinctive and enduring dress watch designs. With its harmonious proportions inspired by the golden ratio, the Ellipse remains a timeless icon within Patek Philippe’s catalogue. This example measures approximately 31 x 35 mm, offering the refined and discreet dimensions characteristic of the period. The case has been polished in the past and is preserved in good overall condition. It displays surface scratches consistent with normal use and age—entirely expected for a watch approaching forty years old. Importantly, the gold hallmarks remain visible on the case, a reassuring indicator of honest wear and preservation. The watch is fitted with a superb sunburst blue dial, which is preserved in perfect condition and remains a defining highlight of the piece. The hands match beautifully, creating a harmonious and well-balanced aesthetic. The sapphire crystal shows a small chip at approximately 9 o’clock, a minor imperfection that does not detract from the overall presentation. The watch is fitted with a navy blue Patek Philippe crocodile leather strap, paired with an original-style yellow-gold Ellipse ardillon buckle, maintaining correct period coherence. The movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker and is running accurately at the time of cataloguing. Offered without box or papers, this Golden Ellipse 3838 represents a charming and attractively priced opportunity to acquire a classic Patek Philippe dress watch from the 1980s—combining a flawless original dial, recent servicing, and the timeless elegance that defines the Ellipse line.
