Description
Top of the line
The Omega Constellation Pie-Pan reference 2852 from 1956 is a watch that epitomizes the elegance and precision for which Omega’s Constellation series is renowned. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, this timepiece is not merely a functional object but a symbol of mid-20th-century luxury and horological excellence. In its day, these Constellations were the top of the line Omega had to offer. The Pie-Pan dial, with its distinctive faceted design and arrowhead markers, has become an iconic feature, instantly recognizable and highly coveted among collectors. The lack of a date function can actually be considered a benefit as it keeps the design of the dial as clean as it can possibly be.
A time capsule
This model, with its rare flatlink bracelet and beautifully aged patina dial, stands as a testament to Omega’s commitment to both aesthetics and mechanical innovation during the 1950s. It comes as a full set up to and including the Sterling silver box. Someone has likely received this watch as a gorgeous Christmas present, given that it was sold in Geneva in the wake of Christmas of 1959. We know the name of that someone; thanks to tastefully executed personal engraving on the caseback. Since then, this proud possession has been worn yet treasured and kept complete. Almost sixty years on, it’s now a time capsule of the superb Constellations Omega produced. At a fraction of the price of the current Omega Observatory line, it’s an easy pick, isn’t it?
Ce que nous aimons :
- Nicely preserved no-date dial with arrowhead markers.
- Comes on a nicely preserved and long 18K 7077 flat link bracelet, which is rare in its own right.
- A very complete set, including purchase papers dating back to its original sale in Switzerland in 1959 and a Sterling silver box.
Ce qu'il faut savoir :
- Sauf indication contraire, il est courant que les montres anciennes ne soient pas accompagnées de leur boîte et de leurs papiers. Dans les rares cas où une montre est livrée avec sa boîte et ses papiers, cela sera mentionné dans la description. Tous les achats sont accompagnés d'une boîte à montres en bois noir sur mesure et d'une carte de garantie.
- This watch bears a personal engraving on the case back. When executed tastefully, like in this example, we consider it a nice indication of its past.
- Proven by years of reliable performance, this vintage watches are perfectly capable to withstand daily wear. Do note, however, that a vintage watch should not be assumed to be waterproof, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
