The Royal Blue Mystery Tourbillon encompasses the Ulysse Nardin spirit of creative designs married with high horology.
The caliber UN-79 is skeletonized and the winding system is invisible, making the flying Tourbillon appear to float in space hence the name ‘Mystery’. Beating at 18,000 vph, the 16 jewels in the movement are blue instead of the usual pink furthering the Royal Blue theme of the collection, and has an impressive power reserve of over 100 hours.
Cased in platinum and produced in a limited edition of only 99 pieces, the Reference 799-83 is a luxurious representation of high horology.
