Ulysse Nardin 160. Two pictures featuring the madness of the brand.
An incredible piece I was thinking of when I discovered the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59.
The case is just mad, twisted, somehow, with a sapphire glass fitting the shape of the case, an asymmetric dial, and, cherry IN the cake, a movement, the Cal 160, which was dedicated to this watch, exclusively, and which was the first ( if we except the Freak ) in house movement, and certainly the first automatic in house movement.
A brilliant and daring way to celebrate the 160th of the brand, in 2006!
Can you imagine, when you see these pictures, that this watch is... 13 years old?
I don't wear it that much, truth to be told, but each time, it gives me a lot of pleasure.
The only flaws?
I would have better seen the Grande Date below 12 o clock, and the weight of the watch... As the case is in white gold, and it is not specially comfortable...
Other than that, yes, this watch is a big love affair.
Best,
Nicolas

It is a monster
and you must not wear it too often as I believe that enormous bezel is a scratch magnet. As on this watch (from the same era?) Cazalea ...
Perhaps This Beauty...
... Deserves more wrist time. My mom called that a "Three Table Watch". Because you can see what time it is from three tables away! - Scott
Special watch
Perhaps even more special than initially conceived, given that this movement wasn’t used in any further watches.
Never seen this before! Great catch you got.
Not a fan of AP code, but if they lower the price tag to below 10 grand, I might be come their fan. Hehehe.
