SUMMARY

Launched in 2006 to commemorate 160 years of the brand this watch housed Ulysse Nardin’s first in-house designed and manufactured movement, the calibre 160. The movement would end up powering only 1000 watches - 500 white gold Anniversary 160s and 500 rose gold Anniversary 160s. 

The sapphire case back allows a view not only of the commemorative 22k white gold winding rotor, but also of the Dual Ulysse Escapement, first launched in the Freak. The ultra-lightweight skeletonised escape wheels are created from nickel phosphorous by photolithography and require no lubrication.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request. 

Please note if shipped internationally, due to CITIES requirements the strap will not be included with the watch
