An undisputed classic, the Universal Genève Polerouter was designed by the legendary Gérald Genta, arguably the greatest watch designer of all time and the mastermind behind the Royal Oak and Patek Nautilus.
This breathtaking dial, with deep caramel hues blending seamlessly into soft chocolate undertones, offers a rare and captivating aesthetic. Very few dials achieve such stunning tropicalization, and even fewer do so evenly while preserving their original beauty and integrity.
CONDITION
This piece is in good honest condition but remains unpolished, the twisted lug case retains all its shape and lines. The case retains its original signed crown as well as its original signed plexiglass. The caseback serial and reference numbers are sharply engraved.
The watch has been serviced about 3 years ago and remains in good shape, keeping good time.
