Not mine. Just something I found while skimming dealer sites for an OQ.

Consider that the "California" dial is only so named because there was a company in the 80s, in California that refurbished a to of watches and put this dial on them as a "signature". The dial first appeared in the 1930's, on both Rolex and Panerai models, as well as several other brands that served the world's armed forces.
