Cartier - Tank
Blancpain - Fifty Fathoms
Patek - Calatrava
Audemars - Royal Oak (sadly)
Vacheron - Patrimony
Hublot - Big Bang
Panerai - Radiomir
Zenith - El Primero (any!)

They are what I associate yes

IWC - i'd say the original Doppelchronograph (but i'm biased!) or the Portuguese.

Lots of contenders for IWC most renowned watch in front of the Big Pilot - 3536 Aquatimer, Portuguese, Ocean 2000, Ingenieur, Mk X Pilots Watch to name a few.

Rolex could be Explorer rather the Sub??

The Fifty Fathoms, Reverso & the Tank are probably the least contentious of what's been listed so far

A few more off the top of my head.

Seiko - Grand Seiko Spring Drive
Tudor - Snowflake Sub, or Big Block Chrono
Heuer - Monaco, but I prefer the Autavia
Doxa - Sub 750T
Orfina - Porsche Design Chrono
Stowa - Marine Orignal

Breguet is a tougher one; probably the Type XX/XXI because the classiques are all different. More a design than anything else; yellow gold with a white guilloche dial!

Rolex is definitely the Sub; probably the most recogniseable watch in the world.

Patek; if not the Calatrava (aped too often as the standard dress watch), probably the Nautilis? No mistaking it.

JLC - agree with Reverso :yes
