I found this listing for an Omega constellation pie pan from 1969. I've never seen this color dial, and I wanted to know if anyone had an idea of the watch's authenticity. It's listed on a Swiss second-hand eBay-type website. What are your thoughts ?

I thought this one looked familiar, and I've realised it was sold on Ebay from Venezuela last month:

I think these are all same watch. The discolouration on the 1 o'clock marker has the same swirls.

Genuine but not in good condition.

It is the same watch - you can tell by the painfully evident gouges in the gold cap on the lugs from some ham-fisted pillock changing straps.

@undergroundLD it sold for $940- what’s the asking price now?

Mmh now that I see the other listing I can indeed say they are the same. Thanks for the other article and the ebay link. The watch was sold on a swiss platform for CHF 996.- (https://www.ricardo.ch/fr/a/rare-1969-omega-constellation-*tropical*-1171154160/) which is around 1100 USD

that would be a very strong price if this were a mint example.
As it is, it is a bonkers price for one of the less desirable Connies in very poor condition.
