Exuding a bold and avant-garde aesthetic, the present Uti wristwatch is a true testament to imaginative design. Encased in yellow gold, its elongated rectangular form defies traditional proportions, while retaining immense appeal on the wrist. The defining feature of this timepiece is its exquisitely stylized dial, signed “France,” where oversized Roman numerals extend across the entire dial, framing the compact central time display in an almost surrealist manner. The unusual case, preserved in great overall condition, showcases deep case back engraving and hallmarks. Highly unconventional yet undeniably sophisticated, this timepiece stands as a testament to creativity, making it a rare and collectible addition for the discerning connoisseur.
