Reference 3796
Reference 3796 represents Patek Philippe's final traditionally sized 'original' Calatrava. It replaced the legendary reference 96 and was manufactured from 1982 until the late 1990s. Its main differences were the addition of a sapphire crystal and the upgraded caliber 215 S movement. A timeless and adaptable classic in the Calatrava family, the model came in all three gold variations as well as platinum and a variety of dial configurations.
