Catalogue Essay
The Calatrava collection from Patek Philippe is named after the ornate cross that is the company symbol and the very first Calatrava wristwatch was produced in 1932. The timeless design has captured the attention of collectors. The present lot, ref. 3802 in pink gold is one such example. The series was launched in 1990 and stayed in Patek Phillippe collection for 16 years before discontinuing the model in 2006.

Fitted with Clou-de-Paris, known as ‘hobnail bezel', has been an iconic feature for the Calatrava line. The ‘heart-beat’ of the present lot is powered by cal. 315 which is later series used by Patek Philippe in 1992. Preserved in excellent condition with crisp gold hallmarks is a staple classic Calatrava to have.
