So this would be about 500€ for the Gold. Overall below 1000€?! I have not seen any watch even close to that (in gold). But I will try to be patient.
I added another picture. Maybe that gives you more information.

Unfortunately sellers find a gold watch and think it’s worth a king’s ransom.
The high value of a vintage watch is in its collectibility. I.e. nuts like us are willing to pay far more than it’s intrinsic value for something in good condition.
A major part of the value of a vintage watch is in its dial.
Next is the case.
Condition is everything.
Then you can add a premium for a precious metal.
Take away the collectibility factor and you’re left with a nice old watch - which does have a value since it’s an Omega Constellation but it’s a fraction of the value of a collectible.

Okay.

Haha.

It isn't? Or is Omega 2N YG more of the pinkish side of the spectrum?

No. 4N is pink gold.

Ok. Then I’m officially confused what I have here.

Okay something is missing in translation here. You have what you have. I'm not sure what the confusion is about?

I told you what was listed - that in no way implies what was available in the past.

Ah I see. For a brief moment I believed my beloved pink Connie could not have existed. Like the horn falls of your pet unicorn and you realise it was a lyin' donkey all this time.

Big faux pas on my part. Everyone who felt personally offended has my sincere apologies. I'll shout you a drink next time you're in my neck of the woods (but it'll be tap water).
