NOTES: The Ulysse Nardin 7536 is an extremely rare chronograph from the late 1960's (Circa 1968-1969). Known to resemble a Daytona but 1mm bigger and have the similar bezel to a Speedmaster but 1mm smaller, it is the perfect marriage between the two from a lesser known brand and much rarer as well.
It exists in two executions with 7536-1 being the first and rarer than the second. The difference with the first execution -1 versus -2 are the following:
1) No lume plots at 3-6-9 on the dial
2) Movement is decorated differently with a stunning 'perlage' finish versus regular 'Côtes de Genève', although both are considered luxury finishings
3) Crown is not signed on -1
4) 7536-1 reference is between the lugs versus caseback
5) Serial on the movement is slightly earlier on -1 versus -2 examples we have observed
