Lot Essay

The present watch is amongst the most beautiful examples of the successful and sought after reference 96. It is fitted with a highly charismatic two-tone dial. The combination of the superb sector dial and the very technical yet smooth case proportions add up to a perfect look.

Reference 96
Reference 96 is undeniably Patek Philippe's most legendary design. 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.
