Urwerk T-Rex

About this reference

The Urwerk UR-105 T-Rex was released in 2016 as a limited edition of 22 pieces. This reference is distinguished by its hand-patinated bronze top cover, which features a raised, clous de Paris hobnail pattern designed to resemble reptilian scales. The case back is constructed from black DLC-coated titanium and houses the caliber UR 5.02, a self-winding movement utilizing a satellite wandering hour complication. This mechanism employs four rotating satellites, each carrying three hour numerals, which pass along a 60-minute scale. The movement also features dual air turbines on the reverse side to regulate the winding rate. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $65,000 and $85,000 depending on condition and provenance. While the UR-105 series was officially discontinued in 2021 with the "Last Knight" edition, the T-Rex remains a primary example of the brand's experimentation with textured metallurgy.
