It is not cloisonné ...
this type of enamel work is called champlevé.

If you compare the cloisonné dials with the champlevé ones side-by-side, you see the difference.

A quick picture of the " Dragon ".
It has been a long time I didn't see an Ulysse Nardin enamel cloisonn dial. I couldn't miss the opportunity to take a shot of the " Dragon ". 40 mm white gold case, cloisonn enamel dial, superb lugs. A beauty, even if I am more fan of the Ships series. ...
As a Dragon
You should consider this one ;) Top craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing Best D
There are some UN watches I am also considering... ;)
But I do understand your interest on this one. ;) Best, Nicolas

Striking colors on this one
When I saw the Carnival of Venice up close, I was so blown away by the dial work that I wanted to own the piece. The fact that it is a minute repeater seemed a bonus. It was the most exquisite dial I had ever seen so close. UN really blends art with watch...
The Carnival of Venice is one watch I really want to see ( and hear ) in the flesh.
One of my favourite dials from U.N... If I have this opporunity, I will certainly work on a write up! Best, my friend. Nicolas
