The present Ulysse Nardin chronograph is an incredibly attractive example from the widely acclaimed Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 1846.
The large 38mm case with flat bezel presents the perfect frame for the graphic sector dial which also has a rare pulsometer scale. It is furthermore powered by a manual-winding “Valjoux 23” featuring a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, with a small seconds register placed opposite to balance out the dial.
Preserved in very attractive condition with strong definition to the case and lugs and a crisp dial the present Ulysse Nardin would be a great addition to the collection of both the budding and the seasoned collector.
