Patek Philippe, founded in 1839 in Geneva, Switzerland, represents the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking. Known for its uncompromising standards, innovative complications, and timeless designs, Patek Philippe has created some of the most coveted timepieces in horological history. The Calatrava, introduced in 1932 with the Reference 96, is perhaps the most iconic dress watch ever created. Designed by David Penney shortly after the Stern family acquired the company, the Calatrava embodied the Bauhaus principle of form following function. Its clean lines, perfect proportions, and understated elegance have made it the archetype of the classic dress watch, setting a standard that continues to influence watch design nearly a century later.
