The nickname “Nina Rindt” comes from the wife of the renowned Formula One driver Jochen Rindt, who was often seen wearing this timepiece. Collectors affectionately adopted the name due to her cool and stylish demeanor. The “Panda” dial features a white surface with black subsidiary dials, reminiscent of the face of a panda bear.

This particular example is one of the finest Universal Compax chronographs to have surfaced in recent years, distinguished by its original factory condition and stunning “tropical” subsidiary dials. The Panda dial configuration, coupled with the original crystal featuring the inlaid “U” at the center, adds to its allure. The scroll lugs retain their sharp facets and the undersides of the lugs exhibit crisp edges at the tips. Although the watch shows signs of general wear, the case remains unpolished, making it a delight to observe and wear.

Fitted with a bracelet crafted by the legendary Gay Frères, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning and exceptionally rare vintage chronograph watch.
