In the landscape of haute horlogerie, Patek Philippe stands as a beacon of refinement and precision. One of the models that embodies this tradition is the reference 3796. Introduced in 1982, the 3796 remained in production until the late 90s, succeeding the first and historic reference 96, the original Calatrava from the 30s. Although these two models appear almost identical, there are subtle yet significant differences: the adoption of a caseback equipped with a notch for opening and made waterproof, and the innovative caliber 215.
A unique detail of this model, bestowed by the family of the original owner, is that it has never been offered to the public before. This specimen stands out not only for its historical significance but also for its impeccable state of preservation: never worn, it retains all its sharp and vivid edges. It's a rare item, accompanied by all its original accessories, a piece that would surely capture the attention of any watch collector.
In summary, the reference 3796 by Patek Philippe is not just a tribute to classic design and technical innovation, but also a unique example, a living testament to Patek Philippe's excellence and tradition.
