A true classic, the Patek Philippe Calatrava has embodied enduring style since its inception, evolving subtly through a handful of thoughtful redesigns while maintaining its timeless identity.
This reference 3893 in 18k yellow gold from the 1990s exemplifies that tradition. Its porcelain-like dial—reminiscent of the enamel finishes used in earlier eras—features a creamy ivory backdrop complemented by applied dauphine hour markers and matching hands. A delicate gold dot minute track frames the dial, while the subsidiary seconds register provides balance and symmetry to the overall design.
The case is fitted with a signed Calatrava crown and powered by the manual-wind Caliber 215, a movement known for its slim profile. It is paired with a Patek brown crocodile strap and matching 18k gold tang buckle.
Elegant, and unmistakably refined, this is a piece you simply can’t go wrong with—a cornerstone dress watch that will remain stylish for decades to come.
