tl:dr: any caveats I should know about with buying a 90s' Calatrava?

I'm wearing a suit more often these days and want a dressier watch.
I'm currently wearing a 90's era Oris bigcrownpointer that's a steel case, blackdial and 36mm. Which is fine for my wrists and the black dial legibility is great.
However a 90's Patek Calatrava 3923R has come up. It's however 33/32mm. I think my 16.5 wrist can manage it.

As I understand it, this model uses the same calibre the recently discontinued 5196 used, cept better proportioned because patek cheaped out with the latter and stuffed the small movement into an enlarged case.
This reference doesn't get talked about so much online because nobody wants small watches anymore. Any of you terminally online forum trawlers hear anything about this model?
I've not been on the watch forums for years.
