Introducing a stunning collectible Omega Constellation pie pan watch, a true gem for any watch enthusiast. This particular model features an uncommon factory-original gold-tone pie pan dial, which is in excellent condition. The elegance of the dial is enhanced by the watch’s case, which is in very good condition overall.
Crafted with a solid gold bezel and a beautifully detailed case-back medallion, this watch showcases gold-capped lugs paired with a robust solid stainless steel body. It retains the original pie pan crown, adding to its authenticity and charm. The original signed acrylic crystal is in excellent condition, with a small internal chip on the edge of the 1 o'clock marker. Because it is internal, the crystal remains dust and moisture-resistant.
The case model, 168.005, boasts a size of 34mm across, excluding the crown, and measures 42.5mm lug tip to lug tip, making it a perfect fit for various wrist sizes. This model is famously known as the "dog legs" case Constellation and has garnered attention due to its stylish design, which was created by the renowned watch designer Gérald Genta. Interestingly, Omega has recently released a new Pie Pan model inspired by this iconic reference, showcasing the enduring legacy of this classic design.
This watch has been meticulously serviced, ensuring it runs strong with precision. It features a 24-jewel automatic movement, an Omega calibre 561, with a serial number 20950069 that dates this exquisite piece to 1963. To complete the look, it will come with its original Beads of Rice gold-filled bracelet, offering both comfort and style. The bracelet does show minor wears from normal use and including the watch will fit up to a wrist size of 7.25 inches perfectly. Additional links can be added upon request if you have a larger size wrist.
For reference, the wrist size shown in the accompanying photo is 6 inches. This Omega Constellation pie pan watch is not just a timepiece; it is a collectible work of art that represents the pinnacle of watchmaking and design. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own this exceptional piece of horological history!
