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.
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.
Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
