1980s-90s Ellipse Diamond Dial Steel

Patek Philippe Ellipse watches are seldom encountered in stainless steel, making this ref. 3930A from the 1980s–1990s a particularly interesting departure from the precious-metal examples more commonly associated with the collection.

The blue sunburst dial is set with diamond hour markers, with the date aperture taking the place of the marker at 3 o’clock. Slim silvered hands maintain the minimal Ellipse aesthetic, while the crown is signed with the Calatrava cross.

Powered by the Patek Philippe caliber E23C quartz movement, the watch is fitted with a custom midnight blue alligator strap selected for a monochromatic look and its Patek Philippe stainless steel Ellipse deployant clasp. An unusual steel Patek with a great combination of blue, diamonds and the distinctive Ellipse case.
