Patek Philippe Calatrava 31mm - Ref. 3796D

For sale is an elegant Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 3796D in 18k yellow gold, featuring a white Roman numeral dial and the distinctive “Clous de Paris” hobnail bezel. Presented on a black Patek Philippe leather strap with the original signed 18k yellow gold pin buckle, this example captures the understated charm of a classic dress watch.

The Dial
The clean white dial features slender black Roman numerals and matching baton hands, framed by a fine outer minute track. A small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock adds balance to the design, while the Patek Philippe Genève signature sits neatly beneath 12 o’clock. The simplicity of the dial provides a beautiful contrast to the intricate gold bezel.

The Case
Crafted from 18k yellow gold, the approximately 31mm case retains the compact, traditional proportions that define the early Calatrava aesthetic. Its slim profile and gently downturned lugs give it an elegant presence on the wrist. The standout detail is the “Clous de Paris” bezel, with two rows of finely formed hobnails that catch the light beautifully. A crown bearing the Calatrava cross and a solid gold caseback complete the design.

The Strap and Buckle
Fitted with a black Patek Philippe leather strap featuring a textured grain and matching black stitching, the watch is secured by the original signed 18k yellow gold pin buckle. The contrast between the black leather and warm yellow gold complements the simple monochrome dial.

The Movement
Powered by Patek Philippe’s manually wound calibre 215 PS, the watch displays hours, minutes and subsidiary seconds. Its slender movement allows the case to maintain the refined proportions expected of a traditional dress watch.
