-Description
Patek Philippe is a manufacturer founded in Geneva in 1839. The company makes watches that allow no compromise at all by utilizing its overwhelming quality and technical capabilities.
The independence of the family management and the reliability that all watches can be repaired create a value as an asset that can be handed down from generation to generation.
The Calatrava collection has its roots in Ref.96, known as Kunroku, introduced in 1932.
The name Calatrava comes from the Calatrava cross (Croix de Calatrava), which is also the emblem of the brand. The cross originates from a 12th-century Spanish knightly crest.
The design of this watch is directly inspired by the Bauhaus philosophy that "function determines form", which has become a model for modern watch design.
Reference3796 was released in 1982.It is a legitimate successor to the original Ref.96 design.
The case size is 30.5mm, the same as Ref.96. It is slightly small size.
The case is made of 18K rose gold, the "R" in 3796R being the first letter of the French word Rose, meaning pink.
The lugs integrated with the case and the flat bezel design are the most distinctive features of the Series 96 Calatrava.
The dial is an ivory dial with pearl dots around the periphery.
The bullet-shaped applied indexes and dauphine hands are made of the same 18K rose gold as the case, accentuating the sense of unity with the case.
Both are multifaceted cuts, and it can be said that Calatrava's major feature is that both beauty and visibility are compatible.
The movement is a manual-wind Cal.215 PS.
It is a very classic thin manual-wind movement. It has sufficient performance even today, and is also used in the current model Ref. 5196.

In order to achieve this, the presence of a skilled repair craftsman is essential.
How well the work is done depends largely on the thoughts of the craftsman.
The watchmakers who Arbitro asks are craftsmen who do not cut corners in such areas, so we ask them to carry out the repair work with peace of mind.
About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
