An unusual Patek Philippe model in outstanding condition, dating from the late 1970s: Reference 3605, Jumbo Ellipse with automatic movement. The stylish rectangular case design with rounded corners follows the "golden ratio".
Reference 3605 was produced from 1971 to 1984 and was the largest of the Ellipse D'Or models made by Patek Philippe. It was fitted with the ultra-flat calibre 28-255C, which was also used in the legendary Nautilus Jumbo.
