€ 38.000 (excl. VAT)

A striking testament to the glamorous design codes of the late 1970s, this Omega integrated bracelet watch, reference 3518656, embodies the era’s fascination with bold materials, precious stones, and sculptural forms. As much a jewel as a timepiece, it exemplifies Omega’s creative exploration of luxury design during a period that celebrated artistic expression and technical finesse in equal measure.

Crafted entirely in 18K yellow gold, the watch features an elegantly sculpted integrated bracelet that flows seamlessly into the case, creating a unified silhouette rich with tactile and visual presence. Its dial—an exquisite composition of malachite, onyx, and brilliant-cut diamonds—presents a vivid interplay of color, texture, and light. The deep green striations of malachite, framed by polished onyx and accented with diamonds, transform the display into a miniature work of art.

Preserved in exceptional, like-new, never-restored condition, this example stands out for its pristine surfaces, sharp hallmarks, and superbly maintained bracelet architecture. Importantly, it is accompanied by its original box and papers, as well as matching 18K yellow gold cufflinks and ring, forming a rare and complete ensemble that underscores its luxurious pedigree.

A remarkable expression of Omega’s high-jewelry design sensibility of the 1970s, this integrated bracelet watch unites craftsmanship, artistry, and period glamour—an extraordinary treasure for collectors of distinctive vintage horology.
