Lot Essay

Launched in 1932, reference 96 was amongst the first models of Patek Philippe to be given a reference number. This was subsequent with the newly acquired owners, the Stern family wanting to reorganize and revaluate the production of watches. Considered the archetype and first Calatrava, reference 96 laid the foundation for the future of Patek Philippe watches and remains as one of the most iconic watches ever manufactured.
