This isn’t an eBay auction and I doubt it will be a bargain but I thought the C case devotees would appreciate seeing this little beauty up for auction in Monaco soon.
White gold C case with white gold bracelet in rather lovely condition ( the only fly in the ointment being the darkened lume in the minute hand)
The 1975 description is wrong of course. ( about 10 years out)
For the record, I have no affiliation with the watch or the auction house
The white gold is uncommon for the c shape.
Whilst still relatively uncommon- As white gold Constellations go, the C case is the most common white gold Constellation.
Are you sure about this?
Yes.
White gold Constellations of any other reference before C cases are exceedingly uncommon.
They appear very rarely and command a commensurately high price.
There have been significantly more white gold C-cases come to market over the past few years than any other Constellation reference and command a premium but nothing like that associated with earlier references.
Do you know that there are many references for c shape?
I'm not sure what you are implying with this statement other than to extend the possibility for there to be more opportunity for gold cased C cases to exist?
But, to answer your query, yes I know that there are multiple references for C-shape Constellations. (and multiple variations within those references)
In this context, we are discussing those that come in the 168.008-168.029 bracket - i.e. mid 60s to early 70s. (but you can throw in the .0056 & .0057 if you must)
And I stand by my statement that white gold C-case constellations (I didn't mention bracelets) are significantly more common than any other earlier or contemporary constellation reference.
Note, I didn't say that they were common but certainly have been more common in recent years than other references.
Have you considered the quartz references in your study?

Indeed - if I recall correctly, last time it got stuck on Friday, too! Don't know why they couldn't fix it permanently, maybe I'll have to find the right cal. 751 spare part.
I have my sixth c-case is on it’s way. The precieus five somehow couldn’t stick. Some stayed for years and so e for weeks, but every time I sold one I kept looking at them.
This will be my last one, I guess. Only a WG c-case on a bracelet would be better, but those cost a kidney nowadays.
