1998 PATEK PHILIPPE CALATRAVA 3802/200J-001

 This Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 3902J is accompanied by its box, suede pouch, certificate of origin and booklets. With some marks commensurate with its age, the condition of the watch falls within the seller’s ‘A’ grading. The vendor has indicated that the watch has been serviced in the past.

The 18K yellow gold case measures a traditional 33mm in diameter and features a “Clous de Paris” bezel created by hand using a Rose Engine. These intricate pyramid-shaped accents in concentric circles have become a signature of the model line.

The dial is white lacquered, with black painted Roman numerals and leaf-style hands. Simple in its design, it incorporates a small date aperture at the 3 o’clock position. The movement is the Patek Philippe Cal. 315SC, which is automatic with a 48-hour power reserve.

The simple, elegant Calatrava dress watch has been a constant in the Patek Philippe collection since its introduction in 1932. The model takes its name from the Calatrava cross, an ancient ornate cruciform symbol that Patek Philippe registered as a trademark in 1887.
