     This model posts a mysterious swirl of an incomparable elegance, which combines aesthetic and clock making art with the most level. Its design is reserved for an invaluable stone mason highly qualified, who cuts out each diamond and each sapphire, so that they are imbricate perfectly in the platinum box.
The box 43 mms in diameter, especially conceived for this exceptional part, is equipped with 128 diamonds rod and 57 sapphires rod, thus reinforcing the round shape of the box. The installation of 432 diamonds rod (approx. 27, 77 carats) and of 176 blue sapphires rod of the bracelet, carried out by a Master jeweler, adds to the complexity of the construction of the bracelet.

     The sapphire crown, adjusted with eight diamonds rod, records the smoothness of this true jewel. A total of 568 diamonds rod (approx. 33,8 carats, Signal Wesselton) of very great quality and 234 sapphires rod (approx. 16,79 carats) make great art of the clock industry for the experts.

     It is claimed that blue is the color of the royalty and the mystery. Royal Blue is a mysterious swirl of an incomparable elegance, which combines aesthetic and clock making art with the most level. This work of art supplements elegantly the collection Royal Blue Tourbillion. An invaluable stone mason highly qualified cutting each diamond and each sapphire so that they are imbricate perfectly in the platinum box.

     The bridges and platinum’s are cut in a block of sapphire; also the swirl gives the impression to float freely in the vacuum. The components of the movement are not only skeletons but still aligned in a perfect symmetry, which adds a small secret note.
Actually the watch is trying to imitate the aspect of the blue sky. Its two half’s colored in blue and white creates a vast imitation of eternal when you take a closer look to the watch. From the creators the watch captures some special illustrated aspect that in some way it has been never seen. The property of changing the blue color into a lighter one when in darkness is incredible. The manufacturers wanted a watch that can be read in powerful lights but also when the light is not at all present. When we try to read the watch on a sunny day with powerful light you will notice that the main dial of the watch will turn into a stronger blue. In the night every watch tents to be very difficult to be read but with the new Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue that thing is very easy. In low light condition the watch transforms itself into a brighter watch with powerful edges that can be remark by every person on the road or in the restaurant.

     The fact that the mechanism of winder is visible contributes to accentuate the mystery. In spite of the transparency of this extraordinary movement – built according to the principles of the famous clock making Master locos James Pellaton – the question of knowing what maintains the swirl flying evolving/moving without obstacle in its cage remains whole. The interior appreciation of the box turntable is crimped blue diamonds and sapphires in the form of turn of hour. To go up the movement is equivalent giving life to a naira of subtle gears.

     Edition limited to 30 parts. Case plasticizes tight with 30 meters.
This exceptional chronometer is also available on bracelet crock with crimped deploying loop diamonds and sapphires rods.
