Catalogue Essay
Since the introduction of the first Calatrava ref. 96 in 1932, the model has evolved over the decades and is the longest in production model by Patek Philippe. The present Patek Philippe ref. 3416 in yellow gold is one of the less seen and mentioned models from the 1960s. Featuring a 33mm diameter two-piece yellow gold case made by F. Baumgartner identifiable via key no. 2, it encases the manual cal. 23-300. The present example with a silvered sunburst dial with baton indexes is a wonderful dress watch that can easily be transformed into a casual timepiece with the change of a strap.
