This Patek Philippe reference 3583 is an unusual model featuring an oval-shaped case set on its side, unlike the typical vertically-oriented Ellipse models. It has a sunburst blue metallic dial that provides nice contrast against the yellow gold case and integrated bracelet. The watch notably includes its original oval-shaped box, which is a rare and desirable find from the period.
