I need some help identifying these three watches. I'm most interested in the Patek Philippe as I can't find an image of this particular watch. I can find other Calatrava models online but none have the Roman numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9 like this one so it seems to be unique. It is also 18K gold throughout the entire watch and functions perfectly.





The Rolex is a Cellini and again I can't find an image online of this exact configuration.



I know nothing about the third one except that is seems to be very old and is perfectly functional. It's a HUBER.



Thanks for any help.

Reverse google image search tells me these are definitely watches.

You're welcome.

It isn't fake. The person that purchased it back in the 50's bought it directly from Patek Philippe.

They're all fake knock offs. Completely worthless. You should just give them away. Actually, I'll take them off your hands.

I have a 1950's Omega that I've had difficulty finding info on only trying to match the face with others online. During that time it wasn't uncommon for certain retailers/jewelers to make cosmetic changes once the watches were imported in order to appeal to customer tastes. The best bet is to get the model/serial/mov't number from the inside of the caseback if possible. Not something you want to do yourself though, get a reputable jeweler to do that for you.

I recently inherited them and I'd like to know exactly what I have. I know there are a few posters here that are really into watches and that can steer me in the right direction.

Here's Your Cellini albeit with a different dial - yours looks enamel. Model number is 4133.

And the Patek is a 2501. LINK LINK

You can see the patek emblem embossed on the inside of the band, very likely real.

You're kidding right?

The 2501 alone is worth 10k to the right buyer. 14 to a dummy.

Pretty common style of watch around the 1950s. I have an old basically worthless Elgin that looks a lot like that. Looks like Huber is a legit German manufacturer.

That's a sweet inheritance, those three.
