Patek Phillipe Ellipse 3848

I’ve loved the Ellipse ever since I first came across it in a book, and for me it was always going to be in the classic blue and gold configuration. The 3848 caught my eye for being the classic size but with the more modern batons and markers. The 3738 is

The only thing I can say is that every time I try on a Golden Ellipse, the feeling is stong...

Either 3738G or, maybe even better, 5738P.

Here's how the 5738 looks on my 16 cm wrist.

The smaller size (3738) would probably be even better, but this larger size didn't bother me, especially with the bracelet (the strap variant didn't feel as good on the wrist)...

Thank you Geross.

I personally prefer manual winding movements and would like the 3738 and 5738 even more if they weren’t automatic. That said, both are wonderful looking and I wonder if the 3848 does not feel too small. Hopefully the coming moths will allow me to try on d

Hard to choose from ! To me, the smaller 3848 has better proportions, in particular the thinner case vs. 3738. I tried 3738 & 5738, and can confirm Nico's appraisal, the smaller the better, even though it is a matter of tastes

Overall, I tend to prefer the more classic blue dial, even though I find the brown very nice and the "bordeaux" of the 3848 presented quite appealing. After that, movement 215 is a beast, no issues whatsoever with it even though 240 with its micro rotor i

Fit is definitely important and you're probably right to give it the priority.

Is there such a thing as a 3738G with a blue dial? I think the G only came with a grey dial (cf. photo below). I personally really like manual-winding better than self-winding. So I'm not completely sure if the Golden Ellipse as it is, is really for me. I

What about a 3738G ? Would you still choose the 5738P ?
