The Patek Philippe reference 3566 is a rare variant of the Ellipse d'Or. The model was launched in 1966 and in production until 1977.
It impresses with its 18 K white gold flat square case and the sophisticated deep blue dial with an exciting bark pattern, which blends perfectly with the herringbone pattern of the integrated bracelet.
The watch is powered by the ultraflat Patek Philippe manual-wound calibre 175 – a guarantor for accurate and reliable timekeeping.
This Ellipse reference 3566/1 is a timeless and perfectly preserved timepiece dating from 1972, which is as breathtaking today as it was on the day it was created.
