Connie 2652 from 1953, bumper 354, black dial with rosegold markers and hands. Got its full package, including the original elephant leather bracelet in pretty decent condition.

 

Very nice congrats - and DIBS

A better view.... I guess

 

I get all warm and fuzzy inside... I think it is love.

 

.... hard ... I mean hold on ... let me know you better first

 

1970 so pushing it but i'll chance my luck

 

Have not seen this finish before... Judging by the uneven character, I would say that it actually is patina
Others on this forum might completely correct me on this one

 

Grand Luxe on brick bracelet. A one owner that lived all its life on Greenland.

I have been called a stacker, but I like to think of it as a study in Constellation lug design 1954 to 1968


Or viewed another way

I'm not usually into patinated dials
-but that one is exceptional

I don't know whether to look at or eat it...

 

Nice to see this thread back up there, here´s a couple of my favourite 2015 Constellation additions

Steel 2782 and 18KT 2652, both cal 354.

 

loving that two-tone hobnail

 

Some absolutely fantastic examples on this thread. I have only one, a run of the mill cal 561 crab leg piepan from circa 1961

Cheers

Nothing run-of-the-mill about your 168.005, as the "Dog Leg" lug has come to define the Era of Constellations and has become iconic.
It's lovely!!
