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.

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 馃摉

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


The Constellation Family


And here are the Casebacks

2852


168.018


2782


14902


Apologies, I cannot find a caseback pic of the Manhattan and it's at Omega for service.

Thanks for your interest

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!!
