OMEGA Constellation questions (168.009?)

Hello I inherited a Gold Omega watch from My father and I would like some help with IDying the watch, knowing how I should sell it (I’m from Portugal) and if we have any idea on its market value.

I was not able to get it open yet since the Omega store is in Lisbon and I live far away from it.

The bracelet itself has the number 368.845.

From my research it appears it’s a 168.009.

If I bring it to the store would they evaluate it?

Thank you in advance and sorry for the dump of questions, I’m just pretty overwhelmed with all this new information I am trying to compile.

Hello
Your watch is not 168.009. It is this:

It looks like 18k gold so it’s worth gold scrap price plus collector value maybe 1000 above scrap value.
So it’s worth a lot because of high price of gold.
Don’t let inexperienced local watchmaker scratch it up opening that will reduce value.
Take your time figuring out gold value and then decide best way for you to sell. Don’t waste money on service if you’re selling.

Beautiful watch and very fashionable these days, it'll probably sell easily.

Βefore you sell it, make sure you're certain you won't regret it - I mention this because when it comes to family heirlooms, once they're sold, they're gone, and it's hard to get them back.

Τhis refers to the US market, but it's a very informative article on how the scrap value of gold jewelry is calculated here. For the watch, you'll need to subtract the weight of the non-gold parts (movement, crystal, etc.)

Lastly, this is the price of gold in USD now:
