And I agree when you take the submariner ;-)
Patek ... imo not a specific reference but any chronograpgh or chronograph perpetual. And don't forget their worldtimers ... and what about the Nautilus ... darn difficult, this brand has imo to much to offer ;-)

Patek does have a lot to offer, for sure. I do think it's most iconic, influential designs would be the Calatrava or the Nautilus. My suspicion is that most Patek collectors would say Calatrava, only because of 1) its mass appeal; and 2) the Nautilus is quite polarizing.
Their chronographs and perpetuals are magnificent, as are the world timers, but they are almost always limited editions in a design that changes every few years. I can't say that any have, as a design
category, stamped their footprint in history.
