Reacquainted myself with an old friend this past week, the UN Acqua Perpetual
A robust timepiece that's always fun and easy to wear... not thin, but still fairly svelte considering its 200M water resistance and the perpetual calendar mechanism inside. I'm impressed that, despite the complication, it hasn't needed a servicing in ove...
Love that model
The blue dial/bezel may be my favorite combo but the silver/white dial is easier on the eyes as the multiple displays blend in the background.
Nice. I see the month and date,
assume that is leap year indicator in the seconds subdial? What does the 16 indicate?
Thank you, Thomas!
In the seconds subdiall is a day-of-the-week display. In the photo above, it shows FRI (though partly hidden by the hour hand).

My pleasure of course, thx for asking 😀
The Q&A may help others make sense of the many displays!
That really is a stunning looking Ulysse Nardin Perpetual Calendar
The dial colour and the tone of the markers are really beautiful I am not usually a fan of skeleton hands but on this watch they not only make perfect sense to allow you to see the information being displayed but they look great too. Wear and enjoy it in ...
Thanks so much, Marc, for your kind words 🙏
I definitely agree -- the skeleton hands are a good and welcome idea here !
The great days of UN!
What’s not to love about this masterpiece? PC and 30 bar. Beautiful and practical! I also like the fresh look of the dial (white or silver?) - ideal for summer. All the best Thomas
Thank you for looking and for your kind thoughts MTR 🙏😃
I recall that I vacillated betw. the silver, black and blue variants and eventually decided on the "fresh" looking one! 😃 Have a great WE!
So beautiful.
Looks stunning on your wrist. I have the blue dial Marine Perp, yours is more wearable/understated.
Thank you, Goh! 🙂🙏
I recall seeing someone's beautiful blue version a couple of times here.. I can't recall the poster, though ... was it maybe you, Goh ?
The silver dial version originally was my favourite ....
... of the Marine Perpetual series, because I loved the contrast of blue on silver-white, and its similarity with my Marine Diver. What I disliked, though (as on my Diver) was the poor legibility of the rotating bezel, and the small amount of luminosity o...
Ah Marcus, love this piece 🙌🙏🙌
I was going to add, that there is a small series of 99 pieces with a black dial and the wider lugs that I find perfect in this watch. The amazing blue lacquer on that model is killer, but I think your model is the best of the bunch, as a sporty QP. The WG...
