Well said my Friend. With the heft offered from the cool case material.
Another UN winner from the 2000s period!

Me too. And when they pop up for sale, the asking price is so reasonable.
There is a colored gold case with a silver dial as I recall. I'll have to check it and circle back.
Dial producer
was Metalem in Le Locle. Very good collaboration for this project and same pleasure with Ulysse 1. The finishing of the dial is just perfect. ...
I think around months? But purchased about 5 ago
It went straight to Ulysse Nardin in Boca for a standard movement overhaul before I took possession of it. It was nice to receive it in perfect order, but it sure extended the anticipation to have it all paid for and never on my wrist until after!
I have discovered the density you refer to is a very special feeling on the wrist.
One I had not known previously. A great discovery I wish to make again. (38mm Dato perhaps?? That would be a killer!)
Your only UN or only platinum piece??
Regardless, if it can only be one of each, then that’s the one that checks all the boxes!
My only platinum.
Happy to add this to The Freak. A totally different monster there in titanium, I will make a comparison one day with them.
I need to dig out my old catalogs, was it only a pink gold case + silver dial as the option?
Preference for the platinum model I have, but the other is nice too!
UN had many in this 2000 - 2010 era
And certainly some after, but these were UN glory years.
Thanks. I watched the last handful of years for it.
It came from the original selling dealer who I know well, and from the original owner. Solid pedigree.
That is well stated. The designs are often polarizing from UN.
In this case, the appeal goes out to all watch enthusiasts, IMO.
Thanks Thomas.
Usually, I carefully plan purchasing a new watch, but in this case it popped up unexpectedly and I was able to make it work. It seemed meant to be.
Love the Gigante...
I bought one new many years ago also in platinum and it remains in my collection. Good to see another. A bit rare as only 200 were made in Pt. Dave
I posted it 3+ months ago w all credit to you!
Your photos had me hooked on this watch many years ago and it finally came around for me.
