Maintaining precision

What are the chances of bringing the precision of my old (automatic) Constellation (from ca. 1969) up to what it used to be? And what can I do?
I was very satisfied with the watch as it was approx. 1 minute off in a month, and such it stayed for many a year. However, these last few years it has been less good: it now slows down almost 10 seconds a day, and adjustments haven't really helped much - maybe for some months at the most.
I've even been tempted to look for a quartz replacement (like DeVille Prestige 4610.30.02), but I'm still resisting the urge!
