It really does make a very impressive statement on the wrist, something different with a history, and will only rise in value.

The solid steel case is in excellent gleaming condition, with no significant wear. It measures 33mm wide, excluding the original winding crown x 10mm thick x 40mm long, including the lugs. The inside back of the case is signed ‘Universal Geneve’, ‘Enversteel’ and Swiss’. The outside back of the case carries the ‘12508870’ & ‘21308’ reference numbers.

The original, unrestored dial has an even patina and is signed ‘Universal Geneve’ and ‘Swiss’. The original hands are in excellent, unbent condition, and the lens is very clear.

The hand-wound Universal Geneve movement (Cal 291) is in very good clean condition and is signed ‘Universal Geneve’ and ‘291’. The movement has just been serviced by a master watchmaker and is in very good working order for its age, with no issues and with all functions working correctly.

This lovely watch is on a quality Hirsch leather strap and comes complete with a new watch box for safekeeping.

A rare, highly collectible watch from one of history’s most respected watchmakers. Will provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to enjoy.
