Patek Philippe Ellipse 18K Blue Dial Diamond Set – Ref. 3849

A Rare Factory-Diamond Masterpiece With Heavy Integrated Bracelet

The Patek Philippe Ellipse Ref. 3849 is one of the most elegant and elusive expressions of the Ellipse line, distinguished by its factory diamond-set configuration, blue Sigma dial, and luxurious heavy 18K yellow gold bracelet. Produced in extremely small quantities, the reference was created exclusively for diamond-set examples, making it one of the most collectible and distinctive variations of the Ellipse family.

A Factory Diamond-Set Ellipse – Blue Dial, Sapphire Crown, and Exceptional Finishing

This example features the iconic blue Sigma dial adorned with four factory-set diamonds placed at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock—an elegant layout that maintains the clean geometry of the Ellipse while adding a refined sparkle.

Surrounding the dial is a factory diamond-set bezel comprising 60 natural diamonds, each stone precisely placed to represent a minute on the minute track—a subtle yet extraordinary detail reserved for Patek Philippe’s most artistic jewellery-watch creations.

A blue sapphire Patek Philippe crown further enhances the sophistication of the piece, harmonizing perfectly with the deep blue dial.

Golden hands complete the composition, offering a warm contrast against the dial’s rich hue.

Heavy 18K Yellow Gold Integrated Bracelet – Exceptional Craftsmanship

One of the standout features of this Ref. 3849 is its stunning and substantial Patek Philippe bracelet in solid 18K yellow gold, fully integrated into the case. The bracelet adds both visual presence and tactile luxury, with a length of approximately 17.5 cm, making it ideal for most wrists.

The bracelet ends in a Patek Philippe–signed buckle with a micro-adjust system, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit—an uncommon and highly desirable detail for vintage Patek integrated bracelets.

Both case and bracelet appear unpolished, retaining original edges, geometry, and surface character—an important attribute for collectors who appreciate untouched condition.

Calibre 215 – Manual-Wound Patek Philippe Purity

Inside the reference beats the Patek Philippe Calibre 215, a beautifully finished manual-wound movement celebrated for its reliability, thin profile, and precise timekeeping. This example is reported to keep time very well, a testament to both the movement’s robustness and the careful stewardship of the watch since its original purchase.

The sapphire crystal remains perfect and spotless, allowing unobstructed appreciation of the dial and diamonds.

Originality and Provenance

Offered straight from the first owners, this watch presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a high-jewellery Ellipse in outstanding, preserved condition.

The reference 3849 is effectively the diamond-set counterpart to the more commonly seen Ref. 3848—but unlike the 3848, the 3849 was exclusively produced in factory diamond-set configurations, making surviving examples exceedingly scarce.

Given its untouched condition, factory diamond setting, and heavy gold integrated bracelet, this piece represents one of the most refined Ellipse executions ever produced.

Runs Large
Size: X-Large, Color: Dreamy Coral
Seems to be an okay shirt. It’s a little boxy and Definitely not slim fit. I’m an xl tee shirt guy so that’s what ordered. The body fits more like a 2xl but it’s not bad enough to bother returning. Kind of hoping it shrinks after a couple washes

Iconic, but needs a few notes
Color: Gold/G-15 Green, Lens Width: 58 Millimeters
A great style, especially for those of us who don't go for the original Aviator style. But these sunglasses do need a few notes. The size on these have 58mm-diameter lenses with 15 mm between the lenses (if my decoding of the code on the side is correct. This is the largest size in this style, and even at that they are just *slightly* too small at the ears for my head. For context, the Ray Ban Wayfarer with a 50mm lens and 22m nosepiece fits perfectly. Also these, like the original Aviators, are intended to cover pretty much the entire eye socket, so if you're seeing light coming in from the side or top...they are too small for you. In other words, if you don't have a specific size head, these may not work for you and you'll be frustrated. I know it's hard to buy online since you don't get to try them on. OTOH, it's a little unethical (in my opinion) to go to a brick-and-mortar store just to try them on so you can turn around and buy them off of Amazon. DIYD and all that. Assuming the fit is acceptable, these are very well made sunglasses. They just *feel* like quality and the lenses are fantastic. There is some concern on Amazon about some Ray Bans being fakes. The pair I received are the real thing - look for the etched R-B on the left lens (not the lens with the white logo on it), the R-B logo on the nosepieces, the lenses being made of glass (not plastic) and the identifier engraved on the underside of the bridge...these are indicators that you have a genuine pair in your hands. I purchased directly from Amazon, not a "fulfilled by Amazon" purchase, so caveat emptor on that score. All in all, an outstanding pair of glasses at a good price.
