The King's Class
The Grandes Complication collection by Patek Philippe includes the most complicated watches in the world. Whether perpetual calendars, split-seconds chronographs or minute repeaters, no brand in the world masters the highest complications like Patek Philippe.
The emblem of chivalry
The Calatrava cross has been the official emblem of the brand since 1887 and was engraved on the cases of many Patek Philippe pocket watches years earlier. As a devout Catholic Antoine Patek knew the meaning of the symbol: The cross is the emblem of the Knights of Calatrava. The Order of Knights was founded in 1158 from a Catholic monastic order after its members had saved the Spanish castle of Calatrava from the Arab invasion.
