Just crossed this watch below and I was told its from the 70s .

Wondering if you can advise on the reference or any rough price estimation

1803 is my guess.

Pie pan dial, so 1803 . With what I believe to be after market diamonds. But not as sure if the bezel is factory or not.

watch was bought from AD back then 11k USD and as far as I know no diamond was added.

keeps me wondering though as the dial diamond looks off to me too .

do you have any estimate on this ?

It looks like an 1803 to me but with a flat NON pie pan aftermarket diamond dial added. You can see the gaps around the rehaut where a pie pan dial should bend down. The picture is really bad so its hard to really tell. That watch is a mess.
The bracelet is really stretched and would cost about $2000 to have rebuilt. We would need up close and clear pictures to determine the dial situation and I can almost bet that the bezel diamonds are aftermarket. The lugs are really thin too and would cost about $1500-2000 to be laser welded and fattened up. Personally, I wouldnt pay anything close to $11k for it. So much needs to be put into to it to even bring it up to decent condition that it doesnt pencil out. You would have to get it for a really good price, well below $11k.

@ Offrdmania
I think your right, there's a gap . I just assumed it was where a pie pan dial would turn downwards.

It is a bit of a mess with aftermarket dial and bezel but maybe you like that?
Bracelet can be fixed in London for £600/£800 but that’s all you’d have to spend in my opinion, lugs aren’t that thin and I would leave them as they are
