This is a very rare Patek, that is believed to exist in only eight examples !The reference 3730 is one of the largest manually wound Ellipse watches produced. Made between 1976 and 1990, it houses the robust caliber 215 within a case created by Atelier Rèunis. Its distinctive allure is enhanced by the dauphine-style hands and the onyx cabochon crown. With just eight known pieces in existence, it is a treasure for collectors!The yellow gold step case is a large size and measures 38 x 31mm. Occasionally these watches were fitted with rare hardstone dials, such as this incredible example with an onxy dial. The dial is clean and crack-free with no hour markers and very clean white text and yellow gold no-lume dauphine hands. The watch is powered by the automatic calibre 215. This Ellipse is fitted with the pictured leather strap with yellow gold oval ellipse buckle. The movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.This is a very rare and important Patek Ellipse that we would love to show you live in our lounge.
