The model nickname “Nina Rindt” came from the wife of famed Formula One driver, Jochen Rindt, who was seen wearing the model, and collectors chose that name because of her cool sexy demeanor. The “Panda” dial is reminiscent of the famed “Paul Newman Panda” with white dial and black subsidiary dials, resembling the face of the bear.

One of the finest Universal Compax chronograph to be offered in recent years, this example is highlighted by its original factory condition, sublime “tropical” subsidiary dials, Panda dial configuration, Gay Frères bracelet, and even the original crystal with the inlaid “U” at the center. The scroll lugs retain their facets, and the undersides of the lugs have sharp facets at the tips. While the watch shows signs of wear, the case remains unpolished and is a delight to see and wear. This is a rare opportunity to buy a stunning and very rare vintage chronograph watch.
