Hello all,

quick question: What do you think about this 168.016? Is the dial original? If I do the MOY test, everything seems ok, right?

Thanks! Andreas

Good looking watch.
Nice case, especially for a gold watch.
Dial is fine - looks pretty impressive with those 'brutalist' indices, which IIRC are jet rather than onyx.
Suspect it is an early-ish version due to dauphine hands -movt puts it around '68 (this reference more often seen with baton hands)

Not many sold gold versions of this reference turn up that often.
With a solid gold dial and gold case, this is a Deluxe Constellation. (oddly enough, unlike earlier references, I don't think this reference had a separate ref number for the deluxe versions -presumably because it is already in the 'double digits'?)

It would be interesting to know the asking price if you didn't mind sharing - to see where the market is currently at for these late 60s Connies.

Thank you for your assessment.

The watch was offered for 2400€. I made an offer around 2000€ but unfortunately that was a bit too little and it is now already sold - I was a bit annoyed that I missed it but the next opportunity is already coming 😀.

Welcome @stefano rotondo
You need 200 meaningful posts to offer watches for sale on OF but if you post pictures you may get a valuable critique of your watch.
