Est. $155,000-$160,000 Ulysse Nardin Freak Diavolo 45mm 18K White Gold Watch W/Original Black Alligator Band Unworn W/Box & Papers - This handsome timepiece by Ulysse Nardin is the Freak Diavolo 18k white gold gent's watch. This investment quality watch is a complex timepiece which features a flying one-minute tourbillon. The watch features a 45mm solid 18k white gold case and the original 9.5" black alligator strap with 18k white gold deployment buckle. It has a caliber UN-208 manual-winding movement with Hours, Minutes, Small Seconds, and 8-day Carrousel-Tourbillon, skeleton dial and case back and power reserve of 192 hours. The Freaks are crownless watches, as you rotate a ring about the case back of the watch to adjust the time, while the bezel is rotated to wind the watch. Tourbillon: 1 revolution in 1minute. Winding: Manual winding over the bezel on the back of the case, 1 full rotation is equivalent to 12 hours of power reserve. The Freak represents a milestone in horologic history since the basis of its design presents a movement that is actually a watch itself. This is an incredibly unique design with no crown, whiteout dial and no hands. This watch is unworn and will come housed in the original box with papers. Model: 2080-115
