uhmm, very unique type of Constellation ...
Why the Rose Gold cap doesn't appear in it lugs ?

according to Desmond's database : BA 168.0018 is a Connie with 18 K Rose Gold CMIIW

Is it my eyesight or do I see rose gold plaque on the lugs?

This is not non hidden crown version....less common that the gold gold models. Nice even patina on the dial too.

Have you got some pics of the movement?

Cheers

Love the dial furniture, the black onyx markers are an interesting change from the usual options.

The rose gold cap is on the lugs - the lighting and reflection may be throwing the appearance off. Cool watch.

I have to commend you on your photography, often we get new members posting blurry pictures of watches in the dark or low resolution, yours are well lit, in perfect focus and of enough size to be able to see exactly what's going on.

Yes, a 26 million serial would date the watch to around 1968. Yours is a cal 564 as I was thinking when looking at those nice fat onyx markers 😀.
