Patek Philippe
Ellipse, gold, blue dial
Vintage Patek Philippe Golden Circle / Ellipse "TV Screen" variant (typically Reference 3604), notable for its oversized, rounded cushion-shaped geometry that epitomizes 1970s luxury. The watch is rendered in 18K yellow gold and features a vibrant, sunburst cobalt-blue "Sigma" dial decorated with minimalist gold baton indices, slender hands, and a dedicated date window neatly positioned at three o'clock. The lower edge of the dial frames the signature "O SWISS O" markings, verifying the use of solid gold components on the dial plate itself. Adding to its historical weight, this timepiece is integrated seamlessly into a fluid, heavy 18K yellow gold interwoven mesh-link bracelet that delivers exceptional wrist presence and transforms the watch into a continuous piece of fine horological jewelry.
