1964 Universal Genève Polerouter Date | Glossy Black Dial | Ref. 869111/04 | With Original Buckle and Strap

 

this is a watch that has earned its moment in the spotlight. The Universal Genève Polerouter represents Gérald Genta’s first truly significant design, a piece that set the tone for everything that would follow. Presented in its date configuration and powered by the brand’s innovative micro-rotor movement, it remains as relevant today as it was in the 1960s.

This example is the reference 869111/04 from 1964, and is offered complete with its original strap, buckle, and signed plexiglass. Effortlessly stylish with a subtle sporting edge, it’s the kind of watch that slips easily into daily life, confident, understated, and unmistakably cool.

The watch appears to be unpolished, with a case that remains sharp and full, and all engravings and serial numbers clearly intact. The glossy black dial shows only light, even aging, and is overall in good condition. In a certain light, a subtle hint of tropicalization emerges, a particularly beautiful effect, most striking when the watch catches the sun.


 

The watch has been serviced about 1 year ago and remains in good shape, keeping good time with rate of -12s/d, Amplitude of 210°, and beat Error of 1.0ms.
