Welcome, nice example. Patina concerns me, how does the movement look? Did it clean up well when it was serviced?

You'll find MANY threads on Constellations here.

Thank you, yeah... I don’t know what’s going on with the patina. I imagine someone “cleaned” it during service. Movement looks great and it actually keeps very good time !

The crystal has the emblem in the center so it all seems pretty original ‍♂️

Appears like moisture contamination around 11-12 oclock especially, and the (uninformed) harsh cleaning was trying to remove it and you get the results you see all over the dial.

But, who knows....that's why I asked about the movement condition.
