About this reference
The Universal Genève Compax reference 885103, frequently identified by the nickname Nina Rindt, was produced during the mid-to-late 1960s. Collectors prioritize this reference for its use of the manual-wind Valjoux 72 movement and its distinctive panda dial configuration, featuring a white matte base with three black sub-dials and a black tachymeter bezel. The 36mm stainless steel case was manufactured by Huguenin Frères and features twisted lyre lugs. This reference is historically significant as it represents the final era of mechanical chronograph production for the brand before the quartz crisis. Current secondary market valuations typically range from $15,000 to over $30,000 depending on condition and the presence of the original Gay Frères bracelet. A notable variant is the 885103/01, known as the Evil Nina, which reverses the color scheme to a black dial with white sub-dials.
