1970s Golden Ellipse 3844 “TV Screen”

An interesting Patek Philippe from the 1970s, somewhat difficult to categorize yet very appealing. It takes clear cues from the Golden Ellipse line—a softer, cushion-like interpretation with subtle TV-screen proportions—paired with sharply tapered lugs that are particularly attractive when viewed from the back.

The champagne dial is equally unusual, fitted with raised gold hour markers and matching hands, both featuring black center inlays. Signed Sigma Swiss Sigma, the dial confirms the use of precious metals, and the crown bears the Patek Philippe Calatrava cross. Powered by the caliber 215 manual-wind movement, the 18k yellow gold watch is fitted with a black Patek crocodile strap and an 18k gold Ellipse buckle consistent with the collection.

A vintage Patek for the collector who appreciates the Golden Ellipse aesthetic in a more subtle, unconventional expression—one that wears larger on the wrist than its dimensions suggest while retaining unmistakable Patek elegance.
