It looks genuine to me, but in am unsure about the reference.

I did not find much info about Constellations from this era,

Sorry for the spelling errors, autocorrecture is german.

So it’s on an auction? Sorry I can’t give an informed opinion I didn’t know constellations were made with display backs. Something is giving me pause it looks off to me but I know nothing of this era of constellations. I’m sure someone will pipe in. The movement and the hands don’t look right but not long ago I came across some references I had never seen before that I though were not legit and I was wrong. Have you been seeking something similar to this?

Aside from a few classic models, 80s watches are usually not very sought after. Perhaps that will change, but most collectors would not b me interested in that model. Probably most people here know little about post 70s Constellations.

Caliber should be 1111 which is from the basics ETA 2892.

Dial looks ok, I found some nearly identical listings in massive gold.

This is steel/gold.

I verified the seller (private) took the risk and got it very low cost.

Now I am waiting to see what arrives.

Got it for 350 Euros ...

Where I am unsure is the bracelett. Was there a Manhattan without an integrated bracelett?
