Patek Philippe Ellipse 3846 Blue 1980s

Patek Philippe Ellipse 3846 Blue 1980sHeres one for the purists: the Patek Philippe Reference 3846. A watch that says little yet speaks volumes to those who listen closely. Born in the late 1970s and quietly fading from the catalog in the mid 80s, the 3846 is one of those Pateks that never needed fanfare it simply existed, patiently waiting for a discerning wrist. What you have here is Patek at its most distilled: a svelte yellow gold case, elegantly restrained at just over 27mm. The dial

This 27 mm version — the larger of two reissues in the early 1970s — is the desirable “PARIS” dial variant

and refined slice of AP history
