Calatrava?

·A Patek Philippe model of watch that had a very simple dial design. I think it is often incorrectly applied to other brand's gold dress watches such as Omega and Longines that have slim cases, and plain dials with hour markers but no numbers.
It was a vintage (1950’s Longines) advertised as a “Calatrava”. The name is catchy and because it has similarly fashioned simple dial to that one an only true Calatrava piece - the Patek Philippe - the seller wanted to catch the attention of watch buyers, by “borrowing” that name.
In my case for the above reason, but mainly because the dial of the vintage Longines has been re-painted, I returned the watch for a full refund.
For some fun reading - here is the link to that post:
