When they were sold new, these were regarded as extremely high-end and opulent timepieces and have remained relative bargains next to, lets say, their more sport-oriented steel siblings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece that we have here is amongst the most sought-after Ellipse models, with a large 36mm x 36mm solid yellow gold 'TV' case, an integrated 'woven' yellow gold bracelet, and a sunburst blue dial within. It remains in strong overall condition, with visible hallmarks, a correct signed crown, and shows normal signs of wear from age. The dial inside is almost entirely devoid of the usual wear or degradation found on colored dials from this era and presents beautifully. It features applied 'pencil' indices, a framed date aperture, and a matching 'dauphine' handset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo doubt, however, the highlight of this piece is that stunning 'woven' bracelet constructed out of solid yellow gold. It shows matching normal wear to that of the case and utilized a familiar signed locking clasp commonly found during this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalatrava or complications aren't for you? Look no further.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver \u0026 Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51937493877053,"sku":"OC3261","price":27950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3741\/files\/PATEK_DRESS_GLD_BRAID_WEB_1.jpg?v=1783457763","url":"https:\/\/oliverandclarke.com\/products\/patek-philippe-ellipse-tv-ref-3604-1j-sunburst-blue-sigma-dial","provider":"Oliver \u0026 Clarke Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
