A timeless classic — this Constellation Reference 168.005 from 1962 is the embodiment of elegant 1960s Swiss watchmaking. Crafted from solid 18k rose gold, the 34 mm case offers compact luxury, enhanced by sharply angled lugs and a screw-down case back bearing the iconic Constellation Observatory medallion.
The silver pie pan dial with sunburst finish and rare slim baton markers with onyx inlays brings a subtle richness that catches the light beautifully. Paired with an crystal featuring the original logo, this piece radiates quiet sophistication.
Inside beats the trusted Caliber 561, automatic chronometer movement — reliable, precise, and finished to perfection. Whether you’re dressing for the boardroom or a collector’s dinner, this Constellation belongs on the wrist of someone who appreciates understated excellence.
