If we are talking DNA, its a good question, not that obvious for Patek. I guess it would be the simple dial of the calatrava. But for me, its the nautilus line, but its personal, as it was the 1st patek that i saw decades ago, and in my mind, i associate Patek to the nautilus, like i associate AP to the royal oak. Then again, its hard to tell you what in the nautilus i assicate with Patek .
Very good question 
It would have been easier to speak about which model we associate with each brand

Lange : LAnge 1
Rolex : daydate
AP : Royal oak
Patek : ... Calatrava

probably published within the past twenty years and it has been within that time that the Patek icon has shifted somewhat from the simple calatrava (ref 96,etc.), as mentioned earlier, to the complicated pieces which has gained dramatically in recent year...
