Understated Brilliance — A White Gold Ellipse with Roman Precision
This Patek Philippe Ellipse Ref. 3546 from the 1970s is a masterclass in restraint — slim, elegant, and exceptionally rare in 18k white gold with a silver-toned Roman dial. Most Ellipse references are found in yellow gold with blue dials, making this cool-toned configuration a sophisticated outlier for discerning collectors.
The finely proportioned 27mm × 34mm case, made by renowned casemaker F. Baumgartner SA, features smooth lines and a discreet snap-on back, housing the ultra-thin Caliber 23-300 — one of Patek Philippe’s most refined manual movements.
With its crisp Roman numerals, clean silver dial, and minimalistic charm, this Ellipse is not just a dress watch — it’s quiet luxury at its purest.
