This particular example, Reference 3203-900LE-4A-HAY\/1A, makes the familiar Classico considerably more unusual. Created for Japanese retailer Hayashi Tokeishu, it was produced in an edition of just 15 pieces, giving an otherwise restrained dress watch an exceptionally specific provenance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe edition draws inspiration from Japanese master potter Yamato Sakutaro, whose name appears on the caseback. Rather than relying on an overt complication or dramatic redesign, the collaboration is expressed through subtle details and an emphasis on craft. The warm silver sunburst dial is especially handsome, with applied Arabic numerals, slender hands, and the Ulysse Nardin anchor at 12 o’clock. A recessed small-seconds register at 6 o’clock incorporates a discreet date display, adding functionality without disturbing the dial’s balance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts 39mm stainless steel case gives the watch contemporary proportions while retaining the elegance expected of a traditional dress piece. Inside is an automatic Ulysse Nardin movement, while the watch is paired with its original leather strap and signed buckle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example is Case No. 4 of 15 and remains unworn, accompanied by its inner and outer boxes, complete paperwork, and original unworn strap and buckle. With such a tiny production run, completeness matters: there simply aren’t many opportunities to find another.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes this Classico compelling isn’t rarity for rarity’s sake. It is the specificity of the story: a Swiss manufacture, a Japanese retailer, the influence of a Japanese ceramic artist, and just 15 watches that bring those disparate worlds together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ulysse Nardin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44293257461847,"sku":"40993547","price":7950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS12826_40993547_ULYSSENARDIN_CLASSICOHAYASHITOKEISHULTD_3203-900LE-4A-HAY-1A--5.jpg?v=1789674882","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/ulysse-nardin-classico-hayashi-tokeishu-limited-edition-as12826","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
