Description
URBAN JÜRGENSEN REFERENCE 2

The Reference I was the first wristwatch produced by the Peter Baumberger & Derek Pratt partnership featuring a standard Zenith ebauche triple calendar and chronograph, it was made in 186 examples between 1982 and 1986.

The Ref. 2, produced in the 1990’s used the much superior Frédéric Piguet caliber 71 – the same base was used by Breguet. Most obviously, the Reference 2 dropped the chronograph function whist upgrading the triple calendar to a full-blown perpetual calendar. The perpetual calendar module sitting atop the Piguet base was developed by Lemania – Baumberger secured the rights to this module for the ref. 2.

The case aesthetic is similar to the Reference 1 but it was refined with a sleeker 38mm case and a thinner stepped bezel. The bezel in particular is far more elegant on the ref. 2 – more in line with the grace and class of the rest of the watch. The soldered teardrop lugs are still small but not quite as tiny relative to the package when compared to its older brother – an improvement in my eyes.

This particular example comes in immaculate condition with the original box and papers
