A Patek Philippe Ellipse Ref. 3987 crafted in 18k yellow gold, distinguished by its elegant hobnail bezel. Its oval case measures 27 x 32mm and features a snap‑on back and hidden lugs. The dial is white with Roman numeral hour markers and a subsidiary seconds dial above 6 o’clock. Manual winding, powered by Calibre 215.


There is some patina is present on the caseback where the original Patek sticker once was, indicating the watch has been left unworn for some time. We’ve chosen to leave it undisturbed, though it can be easily removed if desired. This example is fitted on a Patek Philippe leather strap with 18k yellow gold Ellipse buckle. Circa 1980s.
