After securing a controlling interest in the firm, Jean and Charles Henri Stern decided to enlist the help of an English designer named David Penney to create a simple watch that would come in at a lower price point and appeal to the firm’s clientele. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUsing the principles espoused by the Bauhaus school and its minimalist, function-first philosophy, Penney conceived the Calatrava, taking its name from the Spanish military order established in the 12th century which had become the symbol of Patek Philippe. Since its debut in 1932, the Calatrava has become a byword for a simple, time-only dress watch — even from brands other than Patek itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular Calatrava, a Reference 3802\/200R from circa 1994, features a 33mm yellow gold case, a gorgeous glossy white dial with painted \u003cem\u003eRoman\u003c\/em\u003e indices and matching \u003cem\u003epencil\u003c\/em\u003e handset, a date at 3:00, a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ecloud de Paris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e bezel, a signed crown, and a signed black crocodile leather strap with a signed yellow gold pin buckle.
