This Omega Constellation OT 2852 in 18K solid gold, manufactured in 1957, is an exceptionally rare and historically significant wristwatch. It was specially produced for the Saudi royal court and features a unique dial bearing the portrait of King Saud bin Abdulaziz al Saud. The OT 2852 reference is one of the most iconic early Constellations, known for its solid gold case, sharp arrowhead indexes, and the famous observatory medallion on the caseback – a symbol of Omega’s chronometer precision. Inside ticks the automatic caliber 505, one of Omega’s most celebrated chronometer-rated movements of the 1950s, accompanied by its original high-precision certificate. This watch comes with an impressive full set, including the green presentation box decorated with the Saudi emblem, the original chronometer certificate, and the Omega Extract of the Archives, confirming its delivery to Saudi Arabia on October 31, 1957. A true collector’s piece, combining Swiss horological mastery with historical provenance linked to the Saudi royal family.
