Description:

The Ulysse Nardin Blast Tourbillon represents the modern evolution of haute horlogerie and features a bold fusion of avant-garde architecture, technical innovation, and Swiss craftsmanship. Housed in an ultra-light titanium and white ceramic case, this reference showcases Ulysse Nardin’s unmistakable futuristic design language through its fully skeletonized dial with angular “X” bridge construction, and mesmerizing flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock.

Powered by the in-house UN-172 automatic movement, the Blast Tourbillon features a platinum micro-rotor and advanced silicon escapement, underscoring the brand’s pioneering role in contemporary watchmaking. The open-worked movement creates exceptional depth and transparency throughout the dial, while blue accents and faceted hands provide sharp contrast against the monochromatic architecture.

This example is offered as a complete set including original box & papers. The watch remains in good pre-owned condition with some faint, visible signs wear consistent with ownership, while the ceramic case presents beautifully overall. The integrated rubber strap and deployant clasp complete the highly modern aesthetic and ensure exceptional comfort on the wrist despite the watch’s commanding presence.

Originally retailing north of $50,000, the Blast Tourbillon offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most technically ambitious and visually striking modern tourbillons on the market today at a significant value relative to retail.

Very good condition with few signs of wear.
