I was told that the movement used in this watch has been sold to Ulysse Nardin. Can you verify this for me? Also, what is a reasonable price for this watch if one could be obtain used?
Thanks,

Hi Domenic,
You’re right, Ulysse Nardin did acquire this movement. There’s more info about that available here:

As for the the price question, I can’t really give you an accurate estimate, but you can try searching on sites like ebay to figure out what the average price for the watch currently is. I hope that helps.
