💎 THE ARTIFACT

A breathtaking high-jewelry interpretation of the Patek Philippe Calatrava, Reference 3982/23J — a radiant 18K Yellow Gold ladies’ timepiece dressed in a full pavé diamond setting with emerald hour markers and a matching bracelet combining diamonds, gold, and emeralds in perfect architectural rhythm.

Pieces from this era, particularly those with factory gem-setting configurations, occupy an elite tier within Patek Philippe’s jewelry watch history — reserved for discerning collectors who appreciate both horological legitimacy and haute joaillerie execution.

Radiant, architectural, and unmistakably Patek Philippe — this Calatrava 3982/23J is a masterpiece of high-jewelry watchmaking. The dial is entirely pavé-set with brilliant diamonds that shimmer across a golden lattice, punctuated by rich emerald hour markers that bring depth, balance, and color. The elegance of its 32mm 18K Yellow Gold case flows seamlessly into a matching diamond-and-emerald high-jewelry bracelet, completing a silhouette that blends sculptural artistry with horological legitimacy.

Modern high-jewelry Pateks rarely achieve this level of gemstone integration, making vintage-era creations like this especially coveted by collectors who understand rarity at the material and craftsmanship level. Perfect as an heirloom, a private collection centerpiece, or a statement of connoisseurship, this timepiece embodies both luxury and legacy — a wearable treasure crafted by the world’s most revered watchmaking maison.

In the world of haute horlogerie, there are watches — and then there are jewel-sculptures crafted by Patek Philippe.
This Calatrava 3982/23J is a breathtaking display of virtuosity: a full pavé diamond dial radiating in a golden lattice of 18K Yellow Gold, punctuated by vivid emerald index markers and harmonized with a matching high-jewelry bracelet set with diamonds and emeralds.

It is a rare and poetic fusion of Swiss precision and Parisian-level jewelry craftsmanship.
A timepiece not purchased lightly — but chosen deliberately by connoisseurs who understand that Patek Philippe’s jewelry watches sit in a league reserved for global elites, royal collections, and advanced high-jewelry archives.
