Ask people for the most famous painter.
You will not get 1 answer, some will say Van Gogh, others will answer Picasso, or Pollock, or Monet, or Roy Lichtenstein, ...
Ask people for the most famous writer
The same result, some will say Shakespeare, or Mark Twain, or Confisius, Rowling, Stephen King , ...
Ask people for the most famous cooks
Again, some will answer Escoffier, Heston Blumenthal, Ferran Adria, ...
Now, ask peole to name the best and most well known watch brand in the world
90% or more will answer Patek
Or look at the auctions. Already decades Patek is on top
Those who don't know much about watches will probably answer Rolex LOL
This is no coincidence.
Don't get me wrong, I love Lange, Vacheron, Breguet and a lot of others too
But Patek just gives you that something Extra
Maybe a Mercedes S600 , a Jaguar XJ, a BMW 750 ... are great car.
But they will never have the meaning as a Rolls Royce
