A picture of the inside of the caseback would be helpful. Also the serial number, probably an 8-digit number.
The caliber is the model of the movement.
It's still a pretty watch, even though the value to collectors will be lower than if it had the original Constellation case.
An automatic watch, like this, will get enough energy just from picking it up that it will run for a minute or two. But it's better to run it as little as possible until it's serviced. The lubrication will have long since dried out, so running it in this condition causes excess wear. Good news is the 505 caliber was made for a long time and is generally accurate and reliable, and spare parts are available.
I hope you're planning on having the watch serviced and wearing it once in a while as a way to remember your grandfather and father.
