UN Ludwig Perpetual

even when released in 1996 it wasnt expensive, but the technology it contains is ground breaking. 3 patents on movement, the first perp where you can turn date back as well as forwards, first perp where everything is crown set no need for resessed pushers, a proper perp with year rather than 1,2,3,L dial. a Ludwig Oeschlin invention so designed by a master and the first of the now very famous UN perpetual family. ltd edition of 150 in red and 150 in yellow gold. chronometer certified. probably one of the easiest to read perps on the market(as are the rest of the family)

prices should be sky high, but current used prices are well below what you would expect of a watch with such credentials.

off the top of my head i think its 38mm so perfect for everyone from small wrists to large wrists.

i am biased because i own one.

i also agree with Chronoswiss. i own a gold/ss delphis which is a superb watch with unusual display using an historic Enicar movement. i'm trying hard, but cant sell it for love nor money at what i consider to be fair(well below 1/2 price for a mint item). a lot of dealers have never even heard of them let alone sell them. movement finish isnt perfect, but dial finish is superb. with that write up i suppose i should keep it

2 great watches that arent appreciated enough.
