Note du spécialiste
This rare representative of the celebrated “Calatrava” series impresses with the highly elegant combination of a 34 mm. platinum case and the black lacquer dial set with baguette and square-cut diamond indexes.
It is from the third series of the model, introduced in 1996 and powered by Patek Philippe’s cal. 315⁄190 automatic movement stamped with the "PP" seal.
Reference 3998
Reference 3998 was launched in 1989 and remained in Patek Philippe’s catalogues until 2005. It was available in all three gold colours and in platinum.
PP seal
The Patek Philippe or PP seal was created in 2009, a new quality benchmark for the firm’s mechanical timepieces. This emblem of horological excellence goes beyond any existing standards of the Swiss watch industry. Uniquely, the Patek Philippe Seal applies to the completely assembled watch as delivered to its owner. In conjunction with these standards, the Seal represents a commitment to lifelong servicing and restoration for all timepieces created by the firm since 1839.
