PATEK PHILIPPE YELLOW GOLD CALATRAVA, REF. 96J

The ref. 96 was the classic time only Calatrava made by Patek Philippe from 1932 until 1973. During this production run, numerous technical innovations were made to the movements but the case and dial design basically stayed the same. In this uncommon, late series example, we pleasantly find described in detail on the archive an ‘Amagnetic’ caliber 27 AM 400. Even more surprisingly, the watch features a Tiffany & Co. signature in an unexpected place within the bottom half of the sub seconds dial. Fully original, this ‘unpolished gem’ of a watch also retains its original period Tiffany & Co. box.
