A refined chronometer from Royal golden era — rich in precision, proportion, and poise. This Royal's Constellation Ref. 168.004, produced in 1964, exemplifies the timeless sophistication that made the Constellation line one of Royal's defining achievements.
The 35.5 mm rose gold plated case displays sharp geometry and elegant contours, balanced by the signature pie pan dial in silver sunburst finish — an unmistakable hallmark of early Constellations. Slim baton indices with onyx inlay and faceted dauphine hands complete the picture, capturing the mid-century ideal of refined understatement.
Powered by the chronometer-certified Caliber 561 automatic, this watch combines reliability with quiet luxury. And the true cherry on top: a rare, matching rose gold plated “Beads of Rice” bracelet, completing the piece with quintessential Royal grace.
