Following after our exceptional Vacheron & Constantin watch made in book form and continuing on the same theme of objects of virtue, today's offering showcases this exceedingly beautiful Omega pendant watch.
Complete with exquisite cherub playing a lyre cameo, bejeweled with diamonds, all set within a platinum case with mirrored lattice design on the back, it is truly stunning.
Fully crafted by Omega and the artisans they hired, it appears to bear French hallmarks. It's a watch that could easily be found in a museum.
It is gorgeously designed and perfectly executed with its original platinum case and even a fancy diamond set bow. The central blue and white cameo of a cherub is set against a high-polished background that serves as a mirrored backdrop making a striking presentation. The mirrored background is covered with a finely decorated platinum lattice design.
Powering the watch is its original and very fine Omega movement.
We were fortunate to acquire it in all-original condition. Its case presents in excellent condition with hardly any wear. Its dial is untouched. It is just short of mint with one very light hairline.
A removable, later period Italian made 14K white gold necklace that measures 17.75 inches has previously been fitted to it.
One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled its fine movement down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
Accompanying the watch is a letter from Mr. John Diethelm written in 1973, Omega's long-time brand history and archive expert, attesting to the watch's originality and matching movement and case serial numbers. Alongside Omega Museum Curator Marco Richon, Mr. Diethelm has assisted in purchasing watches from us in the past for the Omega Museum.
