Omega Constellation 168.004 – 18ct Gold – Full Collector's Set – 1965
An exceptional and increasingly difficult-to-find Omega Constellation reference 168.004, dating to 1965 and accompanied by one of the most comprehensive sets we have encountered for a vintage Omega. Combining an elegant 18ct gold case, chronometer-certified automatic movement and beautifully preserved champagne dial, this Constellation represents Omega at its mid-century best.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the completeness of the package. Not only does the watch retain its original box and paperwork, but it is also accompanied by service history, certificates and even replaced parts from previous servicing, making it a truly collector-focused offering.

Our View
Early Constellations are among the finest watches Omega ever produced, and the reference 168.004 is a perfect example of why collectors are so passionate about the range. The elegant 18ct gold case, beautiful champagne dial and chronometer-rated Calibre 561 combine to create a watch that is both historically significant and effortlessly stylish.
What truly elevates this example is the completeness of the package. Finding a 1960s Omega with its original box, warranty papers, precision certificate, service records and even replaced service parts is exceptionally rare. For the serious Omega collector, this level of provenance is every bit as important as the watch itself.
A remarkable vintage Constellation with outstanding originality, provenance and collector appeal.
