Catalogue Essay
- Since its introduction with the reference 96 in 1932, the Calatrava collection from Patek Philippe has remained a timeless classic that transcends trend changes and continues to attract collectors across all generations.
- The present reference 3820, crafted in elegant pink gold, showcases matching pink gold hands and is adorned with applied Breguet numerals. The Breguet numerals are typically reserved for special releases and esteemed timepieces, emphasizing its exclusivity and importance.
- Adding a touch of sophistication and rarity, the teardrop lugs on this timepiece contribute to its refined aesthetic, a feature seldom seen in their contemporary watch lineup.
- The ultra-thin caliber 177, measuring a mere 1.77mm in thickness, and the screw-down case back are deserving of credit. These elements enable the watch to achieve an impressively slim case profile of only 5mm, resulting in a remarkably comfortable fit on any wrist. With its classic and elegant design, this watch would make a splendid addition to any collector's ensemble, particularly those seeking a superb dress watch.
