Lot Details

This Urban Jürgensen Reference 3 is a rare pink gold example of the brand’s signature perpetual calendar, combining classical elegance with exceptional craftsmanship. Featuring a hand-turned guilloché dial and powered by a refined Frédéric Piguet calibre, it represents one of the most distinctive and enduring designs from the Derek Pratt era. In Their Own Words: "The Reference 3 is one of the most instantly recognizable watches from the Urban Jürgensen archive. It’s a perpetual calendar with moon phase and power reserve, which is a classical-enough mix of complications. However, the Ref. 3 presents them in a way that’s entirely unique and exemplifies the design language that has guided the brand through its various eras up to the present moment. The day and month windows sit just above the central line of the crown stem, offering great legibility with a touch of asymmetrical playfulness. The moon phase and power reserve are nested to keep the dial uncluttered. And the mix of guilloché and non-guilloché surfaces gives the dial a ton of visual depth. When creating our newest perpetual calendar, the UJ-3, these elements were all top-of-mind. The Reference 3 is one of the true masterpieces from the era of Derek Pratt’s leadership at Urban Jürgensen and remains an important touchstone for the brand today." - Alex Rosenfield, Co-CEO Urban Jürgensen
