Introduced in 1968, the design of Patek Philippe's Ellipse is no accident, as it is based on the golden ratio, considered the “divine proportion” found in nature and in the greatest architectural and artistic works. Following on from the first men's references 3546 and 3548, reference 3849 was introduced in the late 1970s and remained in production until 1998.

The elliptical case, made of 18-karat white gold, features a bezel set with 60 diamonds and has refined dimensions that are perfectly suited to all wrists.   

The dial, manufactured by specialist Singer for Patek Philippe, stands out with its deep blue sunburst finish, an iconic signature of the Ellipse collection. The four diamond hour markers and gold hands, deliberately minimalist, create an elegant and legible contrast, emphasizing the purity of the design.

The “Sigma σ” symbol on the dial at 6 o'clock was introduced in the 1970s by the Association pour la Promotion Industrielle de l'Or (APRIOR) to highlight prestigious manufacturers who use precious materials in their watches and to indicate that the hands and hour markers are made of gold, as is the dial on this model.

This version of the Ellipse, whose dimensions are very similar to the original model, is equipped with a hand-wound mechanical movement, the caliber 215, which appeared in 1974 and is still in use today. The caliber 215 is the first to be equipped with the Gyromax, operating at 28,800 beats per hour. This movement is distinguished by its remarkable stability over long periods, making it ideal for everyday use.

The watch comes with an extract from the Patek Philippe archives (to follow).
