Up for sale is this beautiful Omega Constellation Pie Pan De Luxe watch in solid gold, manufactured in approximately 1956/57 (15.2 million serial #). This iconic timepiece was first introduced in 1952 and quickly became a popular choice due to its precision, durability, and elegant design. 

A MOMENT IN TIME

The "pie pan" nickname comes from the unique shape of the dial, which slopes downward towards the edge, creating a shape similar to a pie pan. This would have been one of the first watches powered by the then-new chronometer-certified automatic Caliber 505 movement, a replacement for the bumper movement that existed in pre-1956 models. This was a cutting-edge movement for the time.

“De Luxe” watches were a very special variation of the Omega Constellation line. The fancy title refers to versions that not only sport solid gold cases, but also solid gold dials, and furnishings.

Simply put, this Constellation is gold from head to toe…and dressed to impress!

CONDITION

This particular Omega Constellation Pie Pan is in excellent condition, with only minor signs of wear. It has recently been serviced and is running well.

The 35mm case is made of solid gold (not gold plated), and the dial features gold hour markers and hands. The watch comes with an authentic signed crown, and is mounted on a beautiful brown leather strap.

THE VALUE PROP
