Patek Philippe 3738/1 Golden Ellipse 18K Yellow Gold Blue Gubelin Dial

This Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse ref. 3738/1, distinguished by its rare Gübelin-signed blue dial, embodies the brand’s mastery of proportion and understatement. Housed in an 18k yellow gold elliptical case measuring approximately 31 x 35 mm and just 5.5 mm thick, the watch is powered by the legendary ultra-thin automatic Caliber 240 with a 22k gold micro-rotor, a movement celebrated for its finesse and reliability. The Gübelin signature on the dial adds a layer of provenance and collector appeal, signaling a prestigious retail partnership. Produced during the late 20th century, this reference carries the legacy of the Golden Ellipse line—introduced in 1968 and revered for its harmonious form based on the golden ratio. The combination of the sunburst blue dial, integrated yellow gold bracelet that fits up to 7 inch wrist, and elegant slim profile makes this example both visually striking and technically refined. Collectors prize this configuration for its rarity, historical resonance, and the subtle luxury of its movement. As a refined dress watch, it offers a compelling narrative of design purity and horological excellence. Excellent Condition with Patek Philippe travel pouch.
