Urban Jürgensen 2

Urban Jürgensen , Reference 2 of platinum. Mechanical movement with automatic winding, perpetual calendar and moon phase indication, cal. FP71. Navy Urban Jürgensen alligator strap with Urban Jürgensen C-type buckle of platinum. Ø 38 mm. 1990., Accompanied by an ostric leather-lined Urban Jürgensen mahogany box, manual, various press material, as well as certificate from authorised retailer Ole Mathiesen 1990. Moreover, a copy of John Knudsen's book “The Jürgensen Dynasty” will accompany the watch., When the Reference 2 was introduced in Basel in 1990, it must have attracted quite a bit of attention from those interested in the aesthetical beauty of a well-made, handcrafted watch – the highlights being the perfectly balanced dial and the case whose proportions are second to none. One of the collectors that attended BaselWorld that year immediately placed an order – that person was the original owner of this watch. It makes this particular example one of the earliest made. At the time, Urban Jürgensen let their customers choose their own serial number, as long as it was available. Hence, this early piece has the number 40 – a number dear to the original owner. Of the approximately 175 pieces produced of the Reference 2, only around 50 were cased in platinum., This lot is subject to CITES export/import restrictions and can only be shipped to adresses within the EU or collected from one of our departments.
