1962 Universal Genève Uni-Compax | Pulsations Dial | 18K Yellow Gold | Unpolished

Gold patina tells a story of time, with this case radiating a rich reddish hue, a testament to its untouched beauty. Complementing this is the immaculate, center-brushed silver dial, a pristine canvas we adore.

Finding a 18Kt gold watch in unpolished condition is no easy feat, but discovering one with a pristine dial is truly a rare and exceptional find.

The center-brushed argenté dial, adorned with applied gold baton indexes and dot markers featuring feuille tritium hands is in mint condition. The outer graduated blue pulsometer remains in outstanding, original, and untouched condition.

The Hammer Head 128 hallmark inside the case-back signifies that the case was crafted by Jung & Fils, La Chaux-de-Fonds (1934-92), a premier case manufacturer for Universal Genève's luxury cases and certain Jaeger chronographs (featuring UG movements). Their expertise extends to both chronograph and sportier models.

Jung & Fils have primarily produced cases for Universal Genève, creating precious metal versions of various Compax and Compur chronographs, as well as some of the more unique Polerouter editions.

CONDITION
