Patek Philippe Ellipse Baignoire 4225
The Patek Philippe Ellipse Ref. 3598 embodies the quiet confidence of 1970s design, a watch that speaks through proportion, not excess. Its 30 × 35 mm elliptical case in 18k yellow gold and deep blue dial capture a sense of harmony that feels sculptural on the wrist. Powered by a finely finished mechanical movement and paired with a black leather strap and gold Patek buckle, it reflects an era when elegance was measured by balance, simplicity, and enduring form.
Excellent vintage condition with very minor wear.
When Patek Philippe introduced the Ellipse line, it redefined what a dress watch could be- refined yet daring, traditional yet unmistakably modern. The Ref. 3598 continued this philosophy into the 1970s, translating the house’s mastery of proportion into a shape inspired by pure geometry. Its elliptical case challenged convention while maintaining Patek’s signature restraint, making it a favorite among collectors who appreciate subtlety over spectacle.
Decades later, the 3598 remains one of the most graceful expressions of mid-century watch design: discreet in size, rich in detail, and timeless in its simplicity. It’s a piece that feels as relevant today as it did the moment it left Geneva.
