Catalogue Note

Accompanied by an Ulysse Nardin certificate, warranty card, an instruction manual and a presentation box. 

Brimming over with an intrinsic aura of utmost finesse, the texture and radiance of enamel captivate all who quest for beauty and perfection.

With enamel watches featuring prominently in its collection for the past 25 years, Ulysse Nardin is no stranger to enameling arts. It is worth noting that this model is the first that portrays both Asian and American continents on its world map dial, preceding the highly sought-after Patek Philippe Ref 5131. This is also the first time the brand created a watch with only its anchor logo, but not the full brand name, showing on the dial. Offered in mint condition, the present lot is numbered 4 out of 10 limited pieces and it offers the perfect opportunity for the most discerning collectors to acquire such beautiful timepiece.
