Patek Philippe 3844/2 Ellipse 18K Yellow Gold Champagne Dial

This Patek Philippe 3844/2 Ellipse, crafted in the early 1970s, is a rare and elegant example of the brand’s refined design language. Its 33 mm cushion‑shaped case in 18K yellow gold houses the celebrated manual‑wind Caliber 215, bearing the Seal of Geneva and featuring a Gyromax balance adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and five positions. The integrated 18K yellow gold Patek 463 “a mailles” bracelet underscores the watch’s seamless aesthetic and period craftsmanship. The champagne dial, with its understated warmth, complements the yellow gold case and bracelet, offering a classic yet sophisticated look that resonates with connoisseurs of vintage Patek dress watches. The slender 6 mm profile enhances its wearability under a cuff, while the Geneva seal movement speaks to its technical pedigree. As a model produced in limited numbers during the 1970s, the 3844/2 holds particular appeal for collectors seeking discreet luxury and mechanical excellence. Its historical relevance lies in its embodiment of Patek’s mid‑century elegance, marrying minimalist design with horological rigor. The combination of the rare integrated bracelet, the prestigious movement, and the refined proportions make this piece a distinguished addition to any serious collection. The bracelet currently fits up to a 7.25 inch wrist. Excellent Condition with Patek Philippe box and undated papers.
