Footnotes

The Patek Philippe Ellipse ref. 3748/1 is an iconic example of the geometric elegance of the 1970s. Its oval case, inspired by the 'Golden Section,' gives it perfect balance and an instantly recognizable silhouette.
The fine sunburst blue dial, with its refined simplicity, highlights the purity of the lines and the harmony of the proportions. The present watch has a 'sigma' dial, which means the hour markers and hands are made of solid gold. This model houses a high-precision manual wind movement, true to the expertise of the Geneva manufacture.

The combination of bold design and flawless execution makes it a highly sought-after piece among collectors. Rare on the market, the ref. 3748/1 remains a symbol of prestige and horological avant-gardism.
