Patek Philippe 3738 Ellipse Jumbo 1987

Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse 3738/106 – Jumbo Blue Sigma from 1987

Introduced in 1968, the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse redefined classic watch design through proportions inspired by the golden ratio. The reference 3738/106, also known as the Jumbo model, is one of the most elegant expressions of that philosophy.

This 1987 example comes in outstanding condition and features a stunning blue sigma sunburst dial, beautifully matched with an integrated 18k yellow gold chain bracelet. Inside beats the celebrated Patek Philippe Cal. 240 automatic, featuring a 22k yellow gold micro-rotor, combining technical refinement with an ultra-thin profile.

Complete with original Patek Philippe certificate and original purchase receipt, this is a highly collectible — a true icon of understated luxury and enduring design.
