1947 Omega Automatic Dress Watch 14K YG (Ref. F 6516) Silver Guilloche Dial

$ 2,500

The world of vintage Omega is vast. It's filled with interesting and unique references, to a degree, unlike almost any other manufacturer. This is true whether you're looking for something for racing, dressing up, diving, or any other function. Omega does it all – and does it all to the nines.

Case in point, this gorgeous 14k gold automatic dress watch from the '40s. It may not have one of the famous monikers on the dial (Seamaster, DeVille, etc) but it makes up for it with a demure, timeless, intricate dial, that in some ways, is even better. The incredible ribbon-style guilloche finish of the dial is absolutely stunning, also uncommonly seen with Omega, and is finished with an elegant Breguet numeral at 12 o'clock.

The dial itself exhibits gentle, yet expected, wear for the age of the watch. The original dauphine hands are in excellent condition with minor oxidation present.
