Patek Philippe 3796 Calatrava 1983
Patek Philippe 3796 Calatrava — Timeless Classical Purity in Yellow Gold from 1983
The Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3796 is one of the last truly classical Calatravas, introduced in the 1980s and closely echoing the proportions of historic references like the Ref. 96. With its elegant 31 mm 18k yellow gold case, it wears refined, balanced, and unmistakably timeless.
The very rare silvered "SWISS" only dial with velvet finishing is original and untouched, featuring clean typography and perfect symmetry — a masterclass in restraint. Powering the watch is the legendary Patek Philippe Cal. 215, a manual-wind movement prized for its reliability, finesse, and traditional finishing.
Understated, discreet, and mechanically pure, the Ref. 3796 is a collector’s Calatrava in the truest sense — designed to outlast trends and remain relevant for generations.
