    For sale this very very unique Omega. The playboy watch was made for the CEO of Playboy to give as a gift to his personal secretary Bobbi Arnstein.
    It is engraved on the back. Bobbi Arnstein thanks Hef,

    This watch is based on a 14k Gold Omega de VILLE with special black face and a diamond at 12 oclock position . Gone playboy bunny head is at 6 o'clock.
    This watch is in lovely condition for a 1970 timepiece with original winding crown.
    the strap is black hide.
    in working order.

    The case back also has 14k. And G F engraved .

    There are about five of these known to exist .....however what makes this very special is who it was presented to.
    Bobbi almost ran Playboy with Hef.
    Hers is an amazing sad story . She took her life in a Chicago hotel room in the 70s due to a pending court case where she was due to be sentenced for 15 years in prison.
    Bobbies was the first funeral Hugh Hefner ever attended.
    Because of this connection this watch is very collectible .

    it is for sale at £2995 Gbp

    and based in the UK.

    If the caseback says 14k gf means it is gold filled rather than solid gold.

    Do you have any movement pictures ? The dial isn't very informative...

    Any pictures of Bobbi wearing the watch might also help.

    Is there any documentation to prove this provenance?

    Yeah sorry guys I was meant to post about this watch for the owner a couple of weeks ago, he contacted me about it and I've just been so busy with work I didn't get to it as fast as I'd have liked. It's all legit, I just didn't think to check that the owner might have joined the forum first.
