ABOUT THIS WATCH: 

MANUFACTURER: Patek Philippe 

MODEL: Calatrava

REFERENCE: 96

YEAR: 1947

DIAL: An original, silver, enamel dial. The dial features a raised enamel signature, raised subsidiary seconds and pearled minute track. The dial has been cleaned in the past. It presents with sporadic staining to the dial with the most notable mark near the 10 o'clock hour marker. The dial is completed by its original, faceted dauphine hands and hand lapped gold hour markers. 

CASE: The 30mm case is in fair shape. The case has been previously polished in the past. The hallmark on the midcase remains partially preserved. The hallmark on the back of the lug can also be discerned. It presents with rather even, light wear throughout the entire case. It is completed by its original flats crown. 

MOVEMENT: Patek manually wound in-house caliber 12-120. The movement, in my humble opinion, is one of the most aesthetically please vintage manual wound calibers ever created by any manufacturer. It demonstrates a plethora of finishing techniques all of which is on full display including black polishing of screw heads and swan neck regulator. The movement has just returned from service and will come with a one-year warranty dated from 03/2025. . 

BRACELET: We have paired this beautiful example of a reference 96 with our Patimeni strap. The strap is entirely handmade by a single artisan in the heart of Italy.
