- Identity and Catalogued Reference
- This wristwatch is catalogued by the auction house as an Omega Constellation under reference 2700 SC, with an estimated production date of circa 1953. The cataloguer describes the piece as a "Fine and very rare, self-winding, 18K yellow god wristwatch with “pie-pan” gold dial," containing a typographical error for the metal designation. The auction description notes that reference 2700 represents the first appearance of the pie-pan dial design within the Constellation line. Because no serial numbers or internal hallmarks are provided in the source description, the circa 1953 dating rests entirely on the cataloguer's attribution.
