Urban Jürgensen Reference 8 – applied indices, fewer than ten made

Pink gold Urban Jürgensen Reference 8 with silver dial, applied indices and brown strap

A pink gold Urban Jürgensen Reference 8 from the Derek Pratt and Peter Baumberger era, fitted with the sapphire caseback that was available only on request at the time. What sets it apart is the dial: applied indices instead of the usual printed ones, a configuration of which fewer than ten Reference 8 were made.

The applied indices give the watch a distinctly more three-dimensional appearance. It is an elegant dress watch that wears beautifully on the wrist.
