Notes

Consigned by the original owner who purchased the watch in 1976, this Constellation was sculpted out of a massive bloc of gold. Inspired by the creations of Andrew Grima it was designed featuring pyramidal and geometrical shapes that perfectly fit the shape of the wrist. Still accompanied by its original punched warranty stating its reference and serial numbers it even specifies the presence of the gold bracelet. Even more surprising is the original 1975 Omega catalogue that presents this model selling for a mind blowing CHF 7'500. For a similar model see Omega, a Journey through Time by Marco Richon, page 378.

Provenance

Property of the original Italian family
