Hello Sandeep Agrawal, Thank you for submitting your Omega Constellation for appraisal to mearto .com. I shall try to help you with that today. TITLE: Gent’s, water-resistant, self-winding, center-seconds, tonneau shaped, 18K yellow gold chronometer wristwatch with date and a gold-plated Omega buckle, "Automatic, Chronometer Officially Certified, Constellation" model, Ref. 168.009/168.017, case and movement numbers not known, made by Omega, Geneva, Switzerland, circa late 1960s. DESCRIPTION: Case: 36mm diameter, two leaf, polished and brushed 18k gold, fluted bezel, (6 screw) screwed-down case back with embossed Constellation logo, leather strap with gold tang buckle with Omega logo. Dial: Champagne gold colored dial with applied yellow gold and black baton hour indices, open bar outer minute divisions, aperture for the date @3 with steel baton hands and center seconds pointer, and the dial signed Omega, Automatic Chronometer, Officially Certified, Constellation, with star, Swiss Made”. Movement: NOT SHOWN, but likely the Omega Cal. 564, copper-colored, 24 jewels, straight-line lever escapement, mono-metallic balance adjusted to temperatures and 5 positions, shock absorber, self-compensating flat balance spring, micrometer regulator. Dial, case and movement triple signed. Condition: Case – Good with moderate surface scratches front and back. Appraised as being an 18k gold case. Dial – Very good with some wear to the batons. Movement – Not shown but considered original, genuine and functional. {I have valued this watch as being solid gold, however, Omega did make a watch in 1968, the Ref. CD 168.017, a 36mm diameter case, which was 14k gold plate stainless steel, and if this is what your watch case is made of the value would drop to the $600 range}} COMPARABLES: ~https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/omega-ref-168-009-168-017-lot-304-216?browse_all=1&page=1&q=Omega+Constellation+Automatic+Chronometer+Officially+Certified (SOLD IN 2016 FOR $1313) ~https://www.barnebys.com/realized-prices/lot/omega-constellation-mens-watch-approx-1969-HLIBp2yp4v (sold in 2018 for $1071) ~https://www.barnebys.com/realized-prices/lot/rare-gentlemen-s-omega-constellation-ref-168-017-NRhr3GhiD (sold in 2019 for $822) ~https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/omega-lot-219-277?browse_all=1&page=1&q=Omega+Constellation+Automatic+Chronometer+Officially+Certified (SOLD FOR $660 IN GOLD PLATED CASE) Therefore, in today marketplace I believe your example of this solid gold omega Constellation would bring in the range of $900-$1200. This is the fair Market value of this watch, not the grey market value, not the retail value (higher of course) but just the value if a non-dealer sold the watch to a friend. I hope this has been of some help to you. My best, David
