A magnificent specimen of the most classic and first iteration of the uber-iconic Golden Ellipse by Patek Philippe, reference 3548 in white gold, the first series watch dating to the early 1970s.

The 18k white gold case is crisp and pristine with well-defined edges, a clean bezel, and sharp hallmarks.

The mesmerizing midnight blue dial with a sunburst finish is in mint condition and very attractive, along with the white gold indexes and hand set.

The manual-wind Patek Philippe movement is winding smoothly and running fine.

On its original Patek Philippe alligator strap and the original 18k white gold buckle.

A truly gem-quality white gold specimen of the classic Golden Ellipse by Patek Philippe.
