Patek Philippe Grand Ellipse 3589 - 18K White Gold Blue Sunburst Roman Dial

Trade In
Details
A Bold Expression Of 1970s Design
The reference 3589 is a perfect example of Patek Philippe's forward-thinking design language during the 1970s. Launched in 1970, it expanded on the Ellipse concept with a larger, more assertive case that captured the spirit of the era. While many versions featured more conventional dials, this example in 18K white gold is fitted with a deep blue sunburst dial. This combination is an uncommon and highly sought-after configuration that stands apart from the more typical yellow gold models.
White Gold, Blue Dial, Roman Numerals
What makes this watch compelling is the rarely seen trifecta of a white gold case, a vibrant blue sunburst dial, and applied Roman numeral hour markers. This execution shifts the watch's character, giving it a cooler, more understated feel than its yellow gold counterparts while retaining a strong visual presence. The blue dial provides a rich backdrop for the polished Roman numerals, creating a look that is both classic and distinctly from its time. The unconventional double-pin strap adds another layer of unique character.
Honest Condition, Authentic Character
The watch is in good overall condition. The 18K white gold case is well-preserved, showing signs of wear consistent with its age. The blue sunburst dial shows some oxidation. The applied Roman numerals and hands are in solid shape. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Confident Choice From A Great Era
This Patek Philippe 3589 is for the collector who appreciates the bold, creative period of 1970s watchmaking. It is not a subtle watch, but a confident piece that showcases the brand's mastery of form and color. The white gold and blue dial combination is sophisticated and versatile, allowing it to function as a statement piece that feels both vintage and timeless.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
