The Patek Philippe “Calatrava” 96 is a watch which represents the beginning of the referenced watches for the firm. The present watch in stainless steel has a very crisp case and a dial that does not appear to have been cleaned before which is uncommon for watches of such age. One will notice that the dial does not have a long signature and has been changed during a service.
