Hi, I got this old Constellation as a gift from a friend. Can anyone help me identify the specific model/year? Also, I'm not going to sell it but can anyone approximate the worth/is this gold?
Looks like a pretty beat up gold top 14381 to me with a wrong crown, a very degraded dial and also missing its medallion and some lume from the hands. No It's not solid gold and the value won't be much in this condition, maybe a couple of hundred €
Can I ask how you can tell it's the wrong crown? Regardless, I think the 14381 doesn't have the arabic quarter numerals but it's very close. If I took this to watch repair could they clean the dial easily?
No they couldn't "clean the dial easily" at least without damaging the finish. The crown for these is usually not round but octagonal/hexagonal. Also it is missing the caseback logo.
