    Hi All

    I am new here Just to share some pictures about a beautiful and very rare


    Omega Constellation King Ibn Saud in 18K rose gold from 1956 - 1957

    calibre 505


    this watch come full set box and papers

    the dial is not in perfect condition but I like this omega


    I'll leave this watch in this condition I do not want restored the dial

    i think if you restored a dial you remove his story a part of his past

    then it will remain with its past and its imperfections

    thank you for your comments and patience, a lots of pictures

    Farid.

    I was wondering why I wasn't seeing any dial shots after more than 2 dozen pictures...... and then I see the dial and know why.

    The box and case is beautiful though, very uncommon watch indeed. There have been a few Grand Luxe versions sold in recent years but you don't see many regular cases with the box.

    Yes indeed, huge discrepancy between case and dial. As I was scrolling after reading Farid's intro, I was thinking "With a case like that, how bad could it be?"

    My guess would be that Klye is drooling over this one ;-)

    The only logical explanation re dial would be that it has been kept without the plexiglass for a very long time......

    Dial is a little too aged for me, if it was a little better I would have bought it! Still a rare watch though, congrats.

    Rare camel fart patina !

    Just a joke but I am stunned to see the aging from a low-humidity environment.
    sohail is probably right, but there has to be more to the story.

    I like it too but its a bit offputting that the guy looks a bit like Dennis in a funny hat

    Hi

    Thank you for the information

    but it s gold caped not in gold 18k

    and it s seamaster model the Constellation is more desirable and rare than the Seamaster

    and on this Seamaster on eBay there is a ding at 4 hours

    if the prie stay correct why not .
