Patek Philippe
Ellipse

That of the Patek Philippe ref. 3587 is one of watchmaking's most beloved silhouettes: launched in 1970, its funky appearance fully reflects the style of its era.

The 43 mm case is a necessary adaptation to accommodate the rare and world-famous Beta-21 caliber, the first quartz movement produced in Switzerland by a consortium of more than twenty competing companies, including Patek Philippe of course, united in an effort to beat the Japanese.

Its presence on the wrist is amplified by the stunning blue dial, which perfectly accompanies the white gold case and bracelet, preserved in exceptional condition.

Not the usual icon, as a Submariner or Royal Oak may be, but there is no doubt that this is a horological milestone and the perfect watch if you are looking for something unique.
