Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 96 excellent condition

Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 96 in yellow gold, powered by a manual winding movement. The reference 96 is the original Calatrava, introduced in 1932 and widely regarded as one of the most important and enduring dress watch designs in horological history. This example comes from its first and only owner, a provenance that speaks volumes about its careful and dedicated preservation over the decades. The dial features applied Arabic numerals and Dauphine hands in a combination that gives this example a particularly warm and characterful appearance. The case retains sharp hallmarks throughout and has been recently serviced by Patek Philippe, ensuring a very good condition. Unfortunately there is no proof or invoice for the service available. Fitted with the original pin buckle, this is a beautifully preserved and historically significant piece.
