“Joseph Ratzinger (83), known as Pope Benedict XVI<\/em>,\u00a0made it onto the title page of a Russian magazine. Documenting the thoughts of celebrities on the purchase of valuable watches, the supplement “Stil” of the Russian daily newspaper “Kommersant” allegedly found out that the highest shepherds of the Catholics knows the earthly time by a glance either on a German “Junghans” or a Swiss “Patek Philippe Calatrava”<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0The latter is about 10,000 \u20ac. Apparantly, Patriatch Kirill, head of the Russian-orthodox church, is fond of even more luxurious items. According to “Stil”, he wears a Breguet Classique “Le r\u00e9veil du tasr”. The matter of expense here is about 20,000 \u20ac.”<\/em><\/div>\n

\nAccording to an interview given to Peter Seewald by His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, the brandname of the watch is most likely “Erhard Junghans” (i.e. not Patek Philippe).<\/p>\n
