AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A masterpiece of pure elegance near to new old stock — this vintage day-date Omega ref. 166.0117 captures the poetry of time through its mesmerizing gold-style dial.
The deep, sunburst yellow shimmers like flowing silk, revealing textures that seem to move with the light.
Golden hands and slim hour markers lend a quiet grace, a reminder of Omega’s mid-century devotion to refinement and precision.

[CONDITION]

Excellent condition!

There are minor scratches in the caseback but you will not be disappointed.

Please note these are vintage timepieces and their timekeeping abilities will never be the same as modern equivalents. We ensure that all of our watches are keeping time within vintage specification.

Please note that the watch you are about to purchase is a vintage watch and is not guaranteed to be waterproof. In order to protect your watch from water or corrosion, especially for the inside mechanism of the watch, we always recommend that you avoid immersing or splashing the watch (in the shower, sauna, swimming pool or humid places).

The box is not included to the auction, just watch. Please take a look at the photos in detail. Photos are part of the description. All photos shown are of the actual watch listed for sale.

Please see the photos to appreciate the condition of the watch. There may be differences in colors depending on the angle of incidence of light. Please examine all the photos carefully, verify all the descriptions carefully and bid accordingly.

Please pay attention to custom duty or taxes in your country which may be caused by purchasing. The buyer is responsible for import VAT and taxes if necessary. The seller accepts no responsibility in such cases.

Reminder: Please do not bid for lots that you do not want to buy or are reluctant to buy. If the last bid is yours and you do not buy the product, you are not only violating the previous bidder below you, but also causing us a financial loss. For this reason, we would like to point out that if the winning bidder does not purchase the product or insists on not purchasing it at all, we reserve the option not to send the product and we may use our legal rights internationally and request a financial compensation from the enforcement office.

The watch will be carefully packed, registered and sent with track & trace.
