Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue tourbillon: A watch which made me dream.

And which still makes me dream. Here is a jeweled version ( inner ring ). But the version I much prefer is the one with the blue rubies only. Platinum case, 41 mm big, 99 pieces ( if my memory serves me well ). Still very contemporary, this 20 years old w...  

Quite a beauty

Very much ahead of its time design wise, reminds me of a more elegant version of the sonata.

Without pun, a true jewel.

If you are going Blue and/or Bling, why not go all the way?

This watch really appealed to me when it came out (the non-bling version). Only 99 made and 9 of them are on Chrono24 right now. Alas, look what they did to that marvelous movement: Imagine if you gained a few pounds and had to add a link to the bracelet!...

Curious!

Have that big jewel on the axis?

Not always.
