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.

Thank you! It has been my first Patek love (after getting my wife a lovely white gold integrated bracelet ellipse). I have grown to appreciate a lot more their vintage catalogue since then and gone down many rabbit holes (especially on calatravas), so hop...
I love it. And it is hand-wound, which is great.
I really regret that other variants are self-winding. Best, Emmanuel

Yes, it is a joy winding the 215 even though the crown is quite small!
