This is a far more affordable Ulysse Nardin delivering a classic everyday watch, rather than some of their modern, more outlandish creations.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
Ulysse Nardin were founded back in 1846, and made their name making marine chronometers. The period of their history when this watch was made is not well documented though, and while their website will outline their history there are gaps. We can see that the movement used in our watch was based on an AS1799, which was launched in 1970. This watch therefore will not be older than that.
CONDITION
A £50,000 Ulysse Nardin Freak may be a clever watch, but could you wear it every day? Not many could, but if you want a more conservative Ulysse Nardin watch then this could be for you. This three hander automatic has a calendar, which has semi quick set, and classical proportions. Signed on the dial, inner case back and movement, the steel case is in good order and a good vintage size. The emblem that would have been in the centre of the case back has been lost though. The automatic movement has a ball bearing mount for the full size rotor, and is all working correctly. The dial is original and has just light marks. The crown may be a replacement. The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
