1970s Patek Philippe Ellipse Gold Dial 3848 with Original Papers

An exceptionally rare and highly collectible Patek Philippe Ellipse reference 3848, crafted in 18k yellow gold with a mid-size case measuring 27x32mm. Featuring an exquisite gold soleil sigma dial, this timepiece exemplifies timeless elegance. Adding to its rarity, this example is accompanied by its original Patek Philippe papers, making it a true gem for collectors.

Notably, the dial bears the "sigma" markings, denoted by the small Greek letter σ at the base. Introduced in the 1970s, sigma dials were part of a collaborative effort by Swiss manufacturers to emphasize the use of precious metals, with the σ symbol indicating that the hour markers and hands were crafted from gold. This subtle detail adds a layer of historical significance and desirability to an already extraordinary timepiece.
