Reference 96
Reference 96 is undeniably one of Patek Philippe's most legendary designs. Introduced in 1932, the same year as the Stern family became the manufacture’s owner, its timeless case proportions are as modern today, over 70 years later, as they were at the time of its creation. Incorporating elements of Bauhaus, late Art Deco and modernism, it is the perfect 1930s effigies. Amongst connoisseurs, reference 96 is better known as Calatrava, a name which stands for avant-garde philosophy thanks to its subtle, elegant lines - clearly a Patek Philippe's signature piece.
To the best of our knowledge this watch has never before been offered in public.
