Patek Philippe Ref. 3796 Calatrava

The Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 3796 was launched in 1982 essentially replacing the original Calatrava, the reference 96 which came to market circa 1932. The reference 3796 has a similarly sized 30 mm case and came in many iterations just as the original 96 did. This 3796 we have here for sale is solid 18kt yellow gold with a Clous de Paris Hobnail bezel and stark white dial with Roman numerals. The delicate stick hands match the black painted Roman numerals and gives a sleek overall look to the dial. This wonderfully sized watch, good for a man or a woman is powered by a caliber 215 PS manual wind movement. An Archive from Patek Philippe for this watch and will accompanies the watch , along with an original gold Patek Philippe tang buckle.
