WHAT IS SPECIAL
A white gold Patek Philippe Ellipse ref. 3589 distinguished by a striking blue sunburst dial and the retailer signature “Gübelin.” The softly contoured cushion-shaped case reflects Patek Philippe’s design experimentation during the mid-20th century, offering a departure from strictly round dress watch forms while retaining refined proportions.
The rich blue dial, accented by applied hour markers, adds a bold yet elegant character. The presence of the Gübelin signature further enhances the historical interest of the watch, underscoring its provenance through one of Patek Philippe’s most important retailers.
Preserving honest signs of age consistent with careful use, this example remains a compelling illustration of Patek Philippe’s creative versatility with proportions and shapes.
