-Description
Patek Philippe is a watchmaker founded in Geneva in 1839. The company makes watches without any compromise by utilizing its unparalleled quality and technical expertise.
Along with Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet, it is known as the Big Three, one of the world's three major brands, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has established a special position among them.
In addition to continuing to be one of the world's finest manufactures, the extremely small number of watches produced makes this brand synonymous with luxury watches. The independence of being a family-run business and the reliability of knowing that all watches can be repaired create value as an asset that can be passed down through generations.
This watch is a hand-wound Golden Ellipse reference 3848 manufactured in the 1990s. The Golden Ellipse, which was first released in 1968, had a design that was completely different from the round and rectangular cases that had been available up until that point, and it made a big impact.
The ellipse, which is a fusion of a circle and a rectangle, and the aspect ratio of the case (1:1.6181) are the "golden ratio" said to have been discovered by a Greek mathematician, and these form the basis of the name.
The case is made of 18K yellow gold and is 27mm wide and 32mm tall, but because it is oval shaped, it doesn't look as big as the numbers suggest, giving the impression of being on the small side.
The dial is a blue dial with sunray finish, a standard feature of the Golden Ellipse.
The hands are pencil hands and the indexes are bar hands. There is no peeling or corrosion on the dial or hands, and they are in very good condition.
Additionally, there is a σ (sigma) mark on either side of SWISS at the 6 o'clock position on the dial.
This is a mark found on watches made by manufacturers belonging to the APRIOR organization from around 1973 to around 2000, and indicates the use of precious metals for the dial and indexes.
The purpose of this symbol is to "indicate that the watch is a high-quality Swiss-made watch made of gold. It is found on watches made by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, IWC, and Omega, but not all watches from the same period have it.
For this reason, sigma dials are regarded as a rarity among collectors.
The movement used is the hand-wound Cal. 215. It is a small movement measuring 10 inches (approximately 22.5 mm) in size and was introduced around 1978 as the successor to the Cal. 23-300.
It is a very classic, thin, hand-wound movement that also has modern performance capabilities, and is still used in current models such as the Ref. 5196, even after more than 40 years.
