[Trivia] Calatrava trivia

Timeless traditional crafts

The Calatrava is a Patek Philippe dress watch that was launched in 1932. Despite its long history, the Calatrava's design has surprisingly remained largely unchanged for nearly 90 years. The Calatrava's design is so refined that it has been praised as the "world's standard for round watches" and the "essence of prestigious dress watches," and continues to be beloved by many. The dial is beautiful and simple, with no unnecessary details, and the design is full of elegance. Furthermore, the materials used are primarily gold and platinum, making this a truly ultimate watch.

Origin of the name

The Calatrava is one of Patek Philippe's most iconic collections. But do you know the origin of its name? The name Calatrava comes from the traditional Patek Philippe emblem, the "Calatrava Cross." This emblem, featuring a motif combining a sword and a cross (four fleurs), was named after a Spanish order of war knights founded around the 12th century. It is said that Patek Philippe adopted this motif because of its long-standing respect for the Calatrava knights' bravery in battle. The Calatrava's origins make it a historically iconic model for Patek Philippe.
