What does Calatrava mean?
1 Answer
The term Calatrava means the fortress of Rabah, a medieval fortress located in Spain. During the 12th century, a group of Spanish Catholic order knights fought a battle against foreign invaders at Calatrava. The insignia of the order inspired the Patek Philippe logo, and the Swiss luxury watchmaker went on to name a line of watches Calatrava in honor of the knights.
