Ulysse Nardin Michelangelo – 18K Yellow Gold Moonphase
A Rare Configuration In Solid Gold
The Ulysse Nardin Michelangelo is a reference that rarely surfaces. While its tonneau-shaped case is a hallmark of the 1990s collection, finding an example with a factory-integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet is nearly impossible. Our research indicates that this version is virtually undocumented online, making it an exceptionally rare find for a collector focused on the brand's revival era. The weight of the 18K gold combined with the seamless flow of the bracelet creates a presence that is far more substantial than the more common leather-strapped versions.
The Complexity Of Mother Of Pearl
The dial features a Mother of Pearl moonphase that adds a layer of organic texture to the crisp white face. Ulysse Nardin has a long heritage of astronomical complications and this watch is a refined example of that history. The moonphase is integrated into a dial layout that remains balanced and legible despite the mechanical complexity involved. It represents an era where the brand was focused on creating high-concept designs that functioned as modern interpretations of classic horology.
Excellent Preservation And Factory Integrity
The watch is in overall very good condition with a mint dial and a crystal that is free of scratches. The 18K yellow gold case shows honest signs of use consistent with its age and appears to have had a light polish on the back and sides. The integrated gold bracelet is in very good shape and maintains its structural integrity. It's a factory-stamped piece that feels robust on the wrist. Mechanically, the automatic movement is running strong after passing our test bench.
The Collector's Ultimate Deviation
This watch works because it offers a level of exclusivity that is difficult to find. It's for the person who values a piece that is essentially unobtainable and stands apart from the standard luxury market.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
