Reference 3989 is particularly noteworthy for its subsidiary seconds at 6 O’clock — a rare feature on the Ellipse, the vast majority of which were produced as pure time-only watches without any seconds indication. The combination of this uncommon dial layout with an 18K white gold case and classic Clous de Paris bezel makes the present example a refined and scarce execution of the model.
