In 1932, the world was introduced to a gentlemen’s dress watch that will go on to define all dresswatches. With the introduction of the Reference 96, Patek Philippe & Cie unveiled a timeless time only wristwatch that went on to set the benchmark for dresswatches in the decades to come with its modern and understatedly luxurious design that addresses both form and function. With time, the collection of beautiful, time only wristwatches by Patek that followed the form of the Reference 96 will go on to be named the Calatrava.
The timelessness of this design gave the Calatrava its lasting power. As of today, Calatrava, is the oldest collection still available in the Patek Philippe catalogue since the brand’s inception.
