Omega - 1966 Omega Constellation 14K YG (Ref. 168005/6) Gold "Pie-Pan" Dial
1966 Omega Constellation 14K YG (Ref. 168005/6) Gold "Pie-Pan" Dial
While today the Constellation line is overshadowed by Omega's Speedmaster and Seamaster models, the striking Omega Constellation family was once the flagship in the Omega collection.
Dating back to 1952, the Omega Constellation has been regarded as one of the most luxurious and precise watch collections offered by the brand. Add to that the fact that they have always been chronometer-rated, and you have a watch that is not only stunning in nearly any setting but also incredibly accurate.
Featuring a 14K yellow gold case, pie-pan dial, and dauphine hands, this ref. 168005/6 Omega Constellation is the most luxurious and top-of-the-line example available at its time of production. Today, it remains in extremely well-cared-for and very well-persevered condition, with an exceptionally unique tropical patina to the iconic pie-pan dial.
