“Bamboo” bracelet: yes or no ?
This yellow gold Patek Philippe ref. 3821/1 features a bracelet crafted by Jean-Pierre Ecoffey.
Jean-Pierre Ecoffey's signature: an “E” encircling “JP”.

The links are sculpted into repeating “bamboo” bars.
The case measures 32 mm and the watch is powered by calibre 177.
My feelings are mixed: some part of me finds this timepiece exquisite, the other part finds it extravagant.
What about you: yes or no ?
Best, Emmanuel

Yes, I guess so. My feelings are really mixed.
Funnily, Silvio Berlusconi chose this ref. for a 30 pieces LE celebrating his Fininvest Group!
Beyond the logo, I much prefer the dial and hands on the version you showed above vs. the Fininvest version
It is a known fact
The bigger the watch, the smaller the xxxx and vice-versa.
Joke aside 32 is a bit on the smaller side but it does look nice on you.

This is not on me: the photos are from Discreet Peacock.
32 mm is a bit small indeed, but for such a bracelet watch, it might be a good thing: larger would probably be very loud.

It's a great dress watch, but versatile. Can be used in non formal attire. Semi formal. My opinion. 😊
I agree regarding versatility,
but I struggle to know if I relly like it and would wear it.

I like it. A bit small for me, and I prefer smaller watches (actually I do not like watches bigger than 40mm). I hate to resort to the gender issue, but although I’d wear it, I believe it’d be great on my wife.
I agree with you: a woman could probably wear this watch more easily than a man.

True, very unique and nice.
But I'm not completely sure I fully like it and would wear it.
I think I prefer the 5738/1R-001.

I'm not sure I could pull off such a formal watch, not pay for it...
...but this is really intriguing...
It's a watch I didn't expect to like as much as I did.
The bracelet is simply fantastic. And the purity of the Ellipse is simply wonderful.
The strap variant is very nice too.
I agree with you, it works.
But I'm not sure I fully like it.
