DESCRIPTION Patek ref 96 pink |
| Beautiful and early Patek Philippe ref. 96 in pink gold. The Patek Philippe ref. 96 was introduced in the early 1930’s, it may be the mother of all ‘Calatrava’ dress watches we know today. This early example dates from 1940 and the condition is fully original. The original salmon color dial is a lust for the eye and the condition is good. With its 31mm case size excluding the crown this was the regular men’s size. Would be lovely for todays woman as well!
The fact it has been made of pink gold makes it a very rare ‘calatrava’ watch which could be very interesting for collectors but also a very elegant watch to wear for men and woman. The timeless design makes the ref 96 a watch which should be in any serious watch collection, the model is still known and produced today as the ref 3796 It comes on a leather movado bracelet with original 18k pink gold Patek ‘tang’ buckle. The movement condition is perfectly conserved and running well.
