Catalogue Essay
Arguably the last true “legacy model” made by Patek Philippe, reference 3796 was introduced in 1982 in lieu of the discontinued ref. 96, the first and original Calatrava. The two models look exactly identical when on the wrist. The minor differences are the sapphire glass, the new calibre of reference 3796 and the caseback which is now waterproof and with a small flap for easier opening.
The present example not only is preserved in absolutely mint condition and comes with its Certificate and box, but it furthermore is dressed in the flamboyantly elegant “PoP” - pink on pink - configuration, marrying a pink case and a pink dial.
