Reference 3919, the “Clou de Paris” Calatrava, was in production from 1985 until 2006 and available in all three gold colors, with different bracelet and dial styles. Mainly renown among passionate for its hobnail pattern bezel that frames elegantly around the time-only dial, the production of this reference was split into three series. Part of the second series bearing a 1.8m serial, the present timepiece has a unique case with lugs and a solid section that anchors the lugs to the case, completed by sapphire crystal and crown signed with the Calatrava Cross. The white porcelain dial with Roman numbers and blackened hands and subsidiary seconds dial is also in surprising conditions considering it’s almost 30 years of age. The caliber is the 215 PS movement, an engineering marvel, one of the most highly jeweled calibers for a time-only watch produced by Patek Philippe. The present lot is offered in an attractive appearance and enhanced by the Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin confirming the movement, case material, caliber, reference and its sale on the 9th of December 1996.
