The Patek Philippe Calatrava is widely regarded as one of the most timeless and elegant wristwatches ever created. This reference 3998J in 18k yellow gold perfectly embodies that classic design, featuring a clean warm silver vertical-brushed dial without lume, a simple three-hand configuration, and a screw-down case back. At 34 mm, it strikes the ideal balance between understated sophistication and presence. The silvered (or “argenté,” in Patek’s terminology) dial is in excellent condition, with a distinctive “dot-dot” applied minute track, crisp black text, and applied hour markers, all paired with beautifully sharp dauphine hands. The watch comes with its original Certificate of Origin, confirming a 1992 sale in Germany, as well as the original Patek paper holder. This refined Calatrava is fitted with a handsome Bulang & Sons strap, complemented by an original 18k gold Patek pin buckle. Powered by the automatic Calibre 315, the watch has been fully serviced and is ready to be enjoyed. A reference for the discerning collector—contact us for details !
