Calatrava - Where Does it Come From?

What are the roots of the Calatrava replica watches? It is interesting to mention that the name of the watch line was suggested by the name of a Spanish Order of Knighthood that was founded in 1158. The Calatrava Cross served as the Knighthood's emblem and became the logo of the Patek Philippe brand. The initial Calatrava watch model appeared back in 1932. It represented a round-shaped timepiece created in an appealing modern style. Catching attention by the clarity and perfection of its design, really soon the Calatrava watch was ranked among the icons of the classic watchmaking.

More than seventy years have passed since the appearance of the first Calatrava replica watch and naturally the Calatrava model has been subjected to considerable changes. Yet every newly introduced Patek Philippe Calatrava watch followed the steps of the first masterpiece and inherited the delicately aesthetic styling. Patek Philippe watchmakers maintained the archetypal simplicity of Calatrava's lines in every new collection. Having kept the delightful refinement, the recent Calatrava models pay tribute to the glorious past of the initial timepiece.

One more significant fact from the Calatrava story: the idea of the Calatrava case was inspired by the philosophy of the German Bauhaus school of art and architecture. The school preached the following principle - form should follow function. It is clear that the main function of any timepiece is to show time. Consequently, Patek Philippe watchmakers created the watch that lacked any unnecessary details, having invented that special style used in developing the first Calatrava. Nowadays, the timepiece continues to influence the design of present-day watches.
