Urban Jürgensen reference 8 ---> applied indices, less than 10 made overall

 Dear watch aficionado.

Herewith I want to show you a very special Urban Jürgensen reference 8 from the Derek Pratt/Peter Baumberger era. Not only is it made in pink gold and has the sapphire caseback (which was available only upon request back then), but it has a dial with applied indices. This is a very rare configuration, as there were only less than 10 reference8 made overall with these applied indices!

These applied indices do give the watch a totally different appearance and a more 3-dimensional look. It is such a beautiful and elegant dress watch and wears perfectly on the wrist.

Happy new year ---> Patek Phlippe, Georges Dubois

 Dear watch aficionado.

I wanted to wish you all a great first day of the new year and a superb year ahead.

This tableau was gifted from Patek Philippe to Georges Dubois (born in 1921), in 1952. Georges Dubois was working for Patek Philippe for over 38 years and started there at the age of 27. I just love it to see such collectibles about watchmaking history.
