I think the summary is: the watch is in good(Not perfect) condition and there are no obious red flags but it seems to expensive.
Thanks, what would be the real value of this one?

For $5500 USD, you better really love it. But if you do love it, and it fits your budget, just buy it and enjoy it, and don't worry about value.

Some pie pans didn’t have the 3 index (a favourite bugbear of @hoipolloi )

The cross hairs should never go beyond the central plane on pie pans Constellation. ( on dome dials they go fully to the edge of the dial. )
Sometimes I have to go without it.

If this is watch you want its a very good example. You are not going to get a bargain on 18Kgold constellation and you will likely not find a better one anytime soon. Its your choice I agree with @Dan S if you love it its worth it.

I would wait for one with 18k gold dial with large onyx inserts.

However, you didn’t post an image of the movt cal and the serial number.
It would be good to have this for completeness of information.

Thanks @Peemacgee, have you checked the video?
I did - and it is a lovely watch which will look great on the wrist.

Please ignore our friends above regarding the deluxe or no-date versions - they are being somewhat mischievous. (It’s a bit like posting a pic of a 4-door saloon car and them saying you should get the coupé)

The only issue we have is that £4k for a French cased watch, which doesn’t have a first class case, is a bit on the high side.

However, as above, if you really like the watch and can afford it then you should buy it.
As I said, it will look great on the wrist.

Movement

This image doesn’t show the calibre or serial number.
I’d be surprised if they aren’t correct but it’s always good to be sure at this kind of cost.

Movement

Interesting to see the abuse that poor movement has suffered. But it looks to be all matching. BTW, you generally want to see the serial number and caliber in this sort of photo.

Thanks everyone for your precious help, I've been looking for ages, so I'm going to move forward with this one unless you've seen something better for this price, or cheaper in similar condition? 😀

Please ask for a photo with the rotor moved so that you can see the calibre and movt serial number
