Patek Philippe à Genève, "Ellipse D'Or Jumbo", Movement No. 1306276, Case No. 2774500, Ref. 3605, Cal. 28-255C, 33 x 38 mm, circa 1977
An elegant automatic vintage Geneva wristwatch
Case: 18k gold, push back, 18k gold PPC buckle. Dial: gold.
The "Ellipse D'Or" was launched in 1968 and - with its extremely minimalist design - was a very elegant watch that was also ahead of its time. Its visual balance is accomplished by the stylish rectangular case design with rounded corners that follows the "golden ratio".
Reference 3605 was produced from 1971 to 1984 and was the largest of the Ellipse D'Or models made by Patek Philippe. It was fitted with the ultra-flat calibre 28-255C, which was also used in the legendary Nautilus Jumbo.
