A remarkable Patek Philippe model dating from the 1970s in exquisite condition. Reference 3589/1, Ellipse D'Or with caramel-coloured dial and automatic movement, the ultraflat Nautilus Jumbo 28-255C. This timepiece embodies pure elegance and timeless style. The design adheres to the "golden ratio". The flat 18 K gold case, the exquisite integrated gold bracelet and the fascinating caramel-coloured dial create an harmonious and vibrant visual effect and make the piece a luxurious 1970s dress watch with a modern vintage character. The golden-brown dial lends the watch a warm and luxurious appeal. Depending on light conditions it shimmers in golden, bronze or amber hues, lending the watch a particular depth. As the piece was kept safe in a strongbox for many years, the gold has acquired a warm honey-coloured hue, which -together with the caramel dial – gives the watch a breathtaking beauty and charisma. This timeless and attractive masterpiece comes with a matching set of Ellipse D'Or cufflinks (Ref. 9002) with caramel inlays - an ensemble, which is the embodiment of discreet sophistication, supreme craftsmanship and a distinctive beauty. The watch comes from the property of the original owner and is sold with original sales receipt issued by Chronometrie Beyer in Zurich as well as the original box.
