Still on the fence about those two colored dials…
And have to say that the single color dial version you posted as comparison appeals to me more.
But love the elegant, thin case 🙌🏻👌🏻
Patek Philippe Ref. 3858
I thought I didn't like this Golden Ellipse ref. 3858 powered by cal. 215 , which I found odd. But then I discovered this variant with a two-tone dial and I'm not sure anymore: I'm starting to like it... I'll let you judge if the charm works for you. You ...

Thanks Emmanuel, A dial with 2 tones is very unusual/unique IMO ! Must see it
in the metal before I can pass judgement, especially given the difference (as shown in the photo) is not stark. The one from Cartier I like because of the BIG contrast. The shaped case of 3858 to me should be nicknamed "manta-ellipse" ! 😃
Your nickname for the 3858 is perfect, Gordon! Spot on!
The chances to see such a two-tone dial are very small, but I agree with you that a hands on experience would be needed. Enjoy your Sunday. Best, Emmanuel
Totally lovely in my opinion!
I don't recall seeing it before, thanks for the introduction . Cheers, Filip
I am a big fan of the GE’s elegance and simplicity…
and this post did nothing to diminish that 💪🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great!
I agree that the "manta-ellipse" as Gordon calls the ref. 3858 is quite nice after all. Enjoy your Sunday. Best, Emmanuel
It's definitely a strange reference,
about which my feelings keep changing. Enjoy your Sunday. Best, Emmanuel
