Patek Philippe 3738/100 Golden Ellipse 18K Yellow Gold Blue Dial

The Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse reference 3738/100 is a study in minimalist elegance, first appearing in the early 2000s and produced circa 2003–2006. Its perfectly proportioned oval case in 18K yellow gold measures approximately 31 mm in width and 35.5 mm lug-to-lug, with a remarkably slim profile of just 6 mm, embodying the Golden Ratio design ethos that defines the Ellipse line. Powering this refined dress watch is the ultra-thin automatic Caliber 240 with micro-rotor, a movement celebrated for its finesse, 48-hour power reserve, and enduring reliability. The deep blue sunburst dial—crafted from gold and chemically treated—offers a subtle yet luminous contrast to the warm gold case, while applied gold baton indices enhance its understated luxury. Water resistance is rated at a modest 25–30 meters, appropriate for its dress watch character. The watch is fitted with a leather strap and matching 18K yellow gold tang buckle in the signature Ellipse form, reinforcing its cohesive aesthetic. As a Jumbo Ellipse, this reference is especially prized among collectors for its thinness, timeless design, and mechanical pedigree. It remains a discreet yet instantly recognizable icon within Patek Philippe’s storied catalog. Like New with European Watch Company pouch.
