First introduced in 1986, the Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 3923 was produced for approximately 13 to 14 years. Predominantly produced in yellow gold and pink gold with bullet indexes and dauphine hands. Featuring a 32mm diameter two-piece snap back case made by Ateliers Reunis, the Calatrava style case is simply timeless. Powered by the firm’s cal. 215 S manual calibre it features the robust Gyromax balance.

Well-received, the reference was also launched in limited edition series for Taiwanese retailer Wu Shang’s 25th anniversary in two versions: pink gold with pink dial and pink gold with ruby indexes like the present example.

According to our research, not more than 20 pieces were produced. Only 4 examples are publicly known and the present example has been kept in the same collection for over 20 years, which remain unworn since the first purchase. The sapphire caseback marks the celebration of the long standing collaboration between Wu Shang and Patek Philippe. Accompanied with its Certificate of Origin and preserved in excellent overall condition with deep hallmarks, the present timepiece with ruby-set dial will surely delight collectors of Calatravas.
