This watch, sold as Lot 112 at Christie’s several years ago, has remained untouched and safe-stored in a private collection since its acquisition. This is a true collector’s trophy piece — one of the finest surviving examples of the iconic “Nina Rindt” Compax. ⸻ Provenance (Important) • This is the same watch listed and sold by Christie’s (Lot 112, Universal Genève Compax ref. 885103/02). • Included in that sale were: • Original 1968 Certificate of Guarantee • Original box, strap, tie-tag, and booklet • After the Christie’s auction, the watch was purchased directly by the present owner and has been kept in a climate-controlled safe, unworn and preserved exactly as acquired. • Full Christie’s paperwork & documentation confirming provenance accompany the watch. Provenance of this level is extraordinarily rare for any Universal Genève — especially for a first-series “Nina”. ⸻ About the Watch • Reference: 885103/02 • Case No.: 2’453’255 • Year: 1966 production / 1968 guarantee • Movement: Universal Genève Calibre 72 (17 jewels) • Case: Stainless steel, 36 mm • Dial: White “panda” configuration with black subdials • Hands: Early-series luminous-filled tapered register hands (first generation only) • Crystal & Crown: Original • Condition: Essentially New Old Stock, per Christie’s; still preserved in that same condition today. This configuration represents the earliest and most desirable iteration of the “Nina Rindt,” worn famously by the fashion icon and photographed during the peak of 1960s motorsport culture. ⸻ Condition – Unimproved and Untouched Christie’s described this watch as “Essentially New Old Stock.” Since the auction, it has been kept stored, never worn, never serviced, and never polished. All surfaces, fonts, lume, and case geometry remain exactly as Christie’s cataloged it. This is one of the best-preserved Nina Rindt examples in existence. ⸻ Complete Collector’s Set The watch comes with the exact complete items from the Christie’s sale, including: • Original 1968 Universal Genève Guarantee Certificate • Original strap & tie-tag • Original presentation box • Original booklets • Christie’s auction papers confirming provenance • Secure storage pouch included A true museum-level ensemble. ⸻ Why This Piece Is Irreplaceable • Extremely rare first-series Nina Rindt • Among the best-documented and best-preserved examples known • Verified Christie’s provenance (significantly increases value & historical importance) • Safe-stored for years, no wear since auction • Complete set with early-production characteristics that collectors prize • A blue-chip investment-grade chronograph with long-term appreciation trajectory This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own an auction-pedigree Nina Rindt — the kind that rarely enters the market.
