Explore a vintage Ulysse Nardin Complete Calendar Chronograph in yellow gold. Collectors discuss its Valjoux/Lemania movement and 1960s dating.

Nicolas (amanico) shares a stunning Ulysse Nardin Vintage Complete Calendar Chronograph, prompting a discussion among collectors about its movement and era. This piece stands out for its elegant complications and classic design, inviting enthusiasts to delve into its horological details. The thread highlights the enduring appeal of vintage Ulysse Nardin chronographs with calendar functions.

Better than that, a Chronograph with a complete or perpetual calendar AND a moon phase, but we cannot deny that this watch oozes class.

Even better, yellow gold adds class and elegance.

The lugs are very nice, too. The case is 37 / 38 mm, which is a perfect size.

I have hard time dating this watch, but I would say from the Fifties?

Screw-in case back:

As for the movement, I don't really know.

Always a pleasure to see such watches and to share them.

Best,

Nicolas
