Ulysse Nardin Classic Enamel – Year of the Rat

To celebrate the Year of the Rat, Ulysse Nardin has released the Classic Enamel – Year of the Rat, a delightful timepiece that embodies the tenets of the rat: Success, alacrity and contentment. This particular model features a 40mm wide rose gold case with an enamel depiction of the adorable rat. The particular method of enamelling is called “champieve”, where the artist directly carves into the dial, creating individual “cells” that are then filled with enamel. The final product is warming, unique and extremely beautiful.
