History & Significance
The ref. 3548 is one of the earliest members of the Ellipse family, introduced during the late 1960s and produced through the 1970s. It carries the signature ultra-slim profile, integrated bezel, and minimalist two-hand layout that defined Patek Philippe’s dress design language of the era. The blue sunburst dial is one of the most recognizable aesthetics in the Ellipse line and remains a hallmark of this reference.
Collectors value the 3548 for its thin manual-wind movement, elegant proportions, and the strong continuity it holds with later Ellipse models. Its cushion-oval case wears flatter and more refined than many similarly sized pieces from the period.
Writer’s Thoughts
A classic Patek silhouette with a deep blue dial that still feels contemporary. The thin case and clean layout give it a quiet presence that suits formal or minimalist wear.
