Up for sale, and once in a lifetime find, this incredibly rare and beautiful Omega Constellation Reference 2852 from 1952 with caliber 505 automatic with perfect non date symmetry. This watch is made from solid 18k rose coloured gold, and has signed hallmarks under the lugs and inside the Swiss signed case. It oozes quality. The case has distinctive bevels (see pictures) along the lugs side, as it was supposed to be, on an unpolished example!
The dial, well, what can we say? It is flawless. The dial looks like it was made yesterday with a clean silver/white sheen, and brushed contrasting edges, and those big rose coloured arrowheads on this pie pan dial are just mesmerising and play with the light in an awesome way.
The watch is truly a time capsule. It even has the original signed plexiglass and decagonal crown, never changed nearly 70 years.
If you are looking for the most beautiful, iconic dress watch, and haven't yet found it, then look no further!!
