Hello!
The dial looks original to me but very patinated. Also, I think it's a bit expensive. Good luck in your search!

Assuming the movement is correct, so a 505 or COSC 501, 800€ sounds very reasonable to me. You'll have to decide if you like the condition, but finding a second RG capped 2852 for even 1000€ will be quite the task. Personally, I'd call this dial damaged, not patinated, but that's a subjective matter.

I think that €800 may be more or less the entry point into Constellation ownership (of the more classic references at least), I doubt you'll find many deals for a whole lot less. At the end of the day, something similar to this one may be found cheaper, but by a massive amount. I don't think the price is too high. Rose gold, very decent case and a dial that will divide the waters. How much would one in similar case condition, but with an immaculate dial cost? Nearly twice that?
Exactly , if I don’t want to spend 2000€, it’s a good opportunity; this models increase its value every year.
While it by no means is impossible, increases in value are only really noticable on really good specimens. A watch that is in mediocre or poor condition will not gain value to anywhere near the same extent as a top example of the same reference. A watch like the one in this thread will most likely not be worth a lot more in the foreseable future, IMO.
