Patek Philippe’s Reference 3629 is a quintessential example of the brand’s enduring elegance and mastery of design. Produced between 1976 and the end of 1980s, this watch is part of the coveted Grande Ellipse "Extra Flat", a series that highlighted the brand’s iconic shapes and exquisite craftsmanship. Known for its graceful lines and discreet sophistication, this reference captures the essence of the second half of the mid-20th-century luxury watchmaking. The case of this reference 3629 is made of 18k yellow gold, and its elegant design is highlighted by the clean, elongated shape and slightly curved case profile. The dial, made from onyx, offers a striking contrast with the warm yellow gold of the case, creating a visually stunning and understated aesthetic. The deep, smooth black surface of the onyx dial is perfectly offset by the thin, polished gold hands. While the reference 3629 was available with either a leather strap or a "Tubogas" bracelet, this example features the leather strap configuration, lending it an air of timeless sophistication. The simplicity of the design, coupled with the luxurious materials, ensures that the watch is both a functional timepiece and a refined accessory. A testament to Patek Philippe’s unparalleled craftsmanship, the reference 3629 combines impeccable materials, precision engineering, and timeless design, making it a desirable piece for collectors and connoisseurs of fine watches alike.
