Beautiful and Rare
The case is a screwback if i'm not mistaken so it would be post 1956, maybe late 1950's, early 1960's.
The movement is a modified Valjoux 72C with the removal of the hour register at 6 o'clock. Rare, as this movement would normally have been adapted for the lesser steel or gold plated/filled cases of the time and the complete 72C would have been used for precious metal cases.
There is also a creme de la creme version that Ulysse Nardin made which incorporated a Valjoux 88 movement, had the missing 6 o'clock register and a moonphase complication above this register.
Classicism at its best, thanks for posting.
Ulysse Nardin Chronograph Calendar.
My guess is that it could well be from the 50's or 60's, with its yellow gold case, its triple date and its chronograph. A pure marvel of classicism I had the pleasure to see some 3 years ago. It is such a beauty that I didn't forget it. I would have love...
Lovely as is...
...but just think how it would look with a moon phase...a blue sky would really pop : )
Superb classy classic ;-)
I would certainly not mind having it on my wrist in any metal actually. And its condition is just amazing, it looks like NOS. Thanks for sharing Nico
Extremely beautiful
Is the month switched by the calendar mechanism oder has it to be changed manually? Marcus

Congrats on the screw-in case back. Here is a picture.
And another one of the movement, which is the Valjoux 72C, indeed: I've never seen this version with the moonphase and the Valjoux 88. Do you have a photo? Thanks for your very interesting comments and informations, polan. And welcome back here! Best, Nic...
This is the one with the Valjoux 88
Hey Nicolas, this is the one with the Valjoux 88, a slightly more modern version with the recessed pushers, reminiscent of chronographs from the late 1970's through the mid 1990's. Photo © Bachmann & Scher ...
