THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS PATEK PHILIPPE FULL SIZE ORIGIMAL AS REFERENCE 96 MEN'S CALATRAVA WATCH SOLID 18K YELLOW GOLD . IT IS A WATCH FOR A TRUE COLLECTOR, SO DON'T MISS OUT!

Calatrava is arguably the ultimate gentleman’s wristwatch through its both timeless and elegant design, perfect proportions, and beautiful movements. The first Calatrava reference 96 was introduced back in 1932, the same year Patek Philippe was acquired by the well known Stern family. Despite the world’s economic conditions at the time, this watch turned around Patek’s sales with its now famous elegant smooth bezel and  dial design. The 31-millimeters wide housed Patek’s in-house calibre 12-400. This manually wound movement incorporated 18 jewels and was finished exquisitely with Geneva stripes on its curved on bridges“ Adjusted To Heat, Cold, and Isochronism”. Today Calatrava  has become an especially collectible Patek, as they’ve becoming increasingly more and more difficult to find in top condition and almost impossible to find one with reference 446- Boy's size.

Watch Grading System

NIB
A pre-owned watch that has been worn, yet is in perfect condition. Accompanied by the factory box(es), tags and documentation. No alterations from factory-delivered condition. The warranty papers must be stamped to establish the authenticity and validity of the watch . No bracelet resizing or marks of any kind. 100%
Mint

A pre-owned watch that is in very nearly perfect condition. Signs of wear are visible with a low powered loupe. May be a watch that is in NIB condition but not accompanied by the factory box(es) or documentation. May refer to an older watch that has been restored, so long as the restoration returned the watch to very nearly perfect factory original condition. Working perfectly, keeping excellent time, needs nothing. 98-100%
Near Mint

Showing very light signs of wear. Faint scratches on the case, bezel, bracelet or buckle are visible to the naked eye. Completely original in every way. Strap shows light use - may be bent or lightly creased, but not stained. Bracelet may be resized. The watch is working perfectly, keeping very good time and needs nothing.
Excellent

Evidence of use is visible to the unaided eye. Scratches are light, but more numerous than "near mint". If the watch has been restored, all original replacement parts have been used. Strap clearly used but no stains. No dents or dings are detectable, and the bracelet has little wear. Working perfectly, needs no repair or service.
Very good

The watch shows what might be considered normal wear by a careful owner who wore the watch regularly. Scratches are evident, but no nicks or dings. May have replacement parts and/or a high quality redial. Running and keeping good time, though may need minor regulation. A sound, attractive presentation overall.
Good

Nothing fundamentally wrong with the watch, though it has quite obviously been used. Running and wearable, but may gain or lose a few minutes over 24 hours. Case may show a few dings, nicks, or deep scratches. May have a redial that is not up to high standards. May not have all original parts.
Fair

Well used, may require service and/or restoration to be useable. May be running erratically. Dial, case, and other major components may not be original, but no pieces are missing. 
Poor

Shows abuse, requires service and/or restoration. May have major cosmetic flaws, missing parts, may not run at all.  Not junk, but requires lots of work to be made wearable.
Scrap / Parts

A collection of parts that at one time may have been a functioning timekeeper. Now missing parts, may be rusted or corroded, not worth restoring. Some would call it junk.
