Details
Opaline Dial And Dauphine Hands
An opaline white dial with a sub-seconds register at 6 o'clock anchors this Patek Philippe Calatrava reference 5096. Faceted 18K yellow gold dauphine hands sweep over pointed gold baton markers, doubled at 12 o'clock, inside a beaded minute track and a smooth yellow gold bezel. Turning the watch over shows the manual-wind Caliber 215 PS through a sapphire exhibition caseback. A brown leather strap with its original 18K yellow gold Patek Philippe pin buckle, the presentation box, and the Extract from the Archives come with it.
From Reference 96 To The 5096
Patek Philippe introduced reference 96 in 1932, its first serially produced wristwatch and the archetype of the Calatrava, with a slim round case, flat bezel, and simple integrated lugs. The 3796 replaced it in 1982 with the same design and an updated Caliber 215 PS, and the 5096 joined it in the 1990s. The accompanying Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives records this watch's original sale on November 23, 1995.
A Crisp Gold Case
This piece is in Excellent Vintage Condition overall, with crisp case geometry and sharp lug facets. The 18K yellow gold case holds well-defined edges around the sapphire exhibition caseback. The bezel and opaline white dial are bright, and every faceted gold marker, beaded minute dot, and dauphine hand is clean. Both the front and exhibition sapphire crystals are clear. The brown leather strap remains supple on the original signed 18K yellow gold Patek Philippe buckle. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Size Up From The 3796
Traditional round proportions and a thin manual-wind profile sit low on the wrist at just over fifty grams. The case is larger than the 3796's, so the classic Calatrava face, with its sub-seconds register and dauphine hands, has more room on the wrist.
