Lovely and wearable ref 2852 Constellation with an uncommon dial (a quick Google search didn't turn up any others with this configuration), original crystal and signed crown.

24-jewel caliber 505 movement, service history unknown but seems to be running OK, service recommended before regular use. Serial number dates to ca 1956/57.

Beautifully aged original cross-hair dial with multi-faceted gold figures and Arabic numerals.

14K gold cap on stainless steel snap back case, Omega crown (looks like a later replacement) and crystal. The lugs are a bit soft from years of honest use, nice edge on the bezel, but the case back is AMAZING, CONSTELLATION and WATERPROOF still super crisp and unworn as is the medallion, with all five points on the stars still nicely defined.

35-mm not including the crown x 43.3-mm lug tip to lug tip.

Click photos for full size.

Sorry, all sales final unless grossly misrepresented.

$1450.00, US shipping included, international shipping OK, cost by location. Payment to be discussed.

REDUCED - $1325.00

I'm just waiting for one of those "I wanna buy a Constellation! Whaddya all think of this lot?" newbie threads with photos of half a dozen overpolished redials on Chrono24, dealer sites, etc. Then I can point them here and say, stop faffing around with junk and buy this! (That is, if I think they are deserving of it.)
