Omega Ref. 7151 Maille d'Or by Gilbert Albert Discussion

JimInOz

Chatcrap stuff is, as usual, incorrect.

The Gilbert Albert Mailles d'Or (Gold Mesh) design is of a specific style and while Omega did release a Sapphette under the line, it is not like your watch.

You have an Omega Sapphette with an integrated Milanese gold bracelet.
The 18 carat gold case and bracelet was made for Omega by Manufacture Favre & Perret SA of La Chaux-de-Fonds.
It has a caliber 650 movement dating to approximately 1967.
The case reference would possibly be 711.XXX, but as the casemaker has used their numbering system it's hard to say what it actually is unless you can find an identical model in an old catalog.

This is one of Albert's Mailles d"Or Sapphettes.

That's because it's not an identical Sapphette.

Omega made many hundreds of various models of men's watches in that period.

In that same period, there were many many more variations for ladies watches.
Sapphettes were produced from 1954 up until the late 1960s and underwent many iterations, from solid gold luxury/jewellry models to "day to day" wear models, all in different sizes but always with the faceted sapphire crystal that made it a "Sapphette".
Movements used also varied depending on model and case size that would accomodate the movement.
