Sold Out
Universal Genève has been enjoying a well-deserved resurgence, with the Polerouter once again at the center of the conversation. Designed by a young Gérald Genta years before the Nautilus or Royal Oak, the watch’s clean geometry and pioneering micro-rotor movement marked it as a true technical and aesthetic breakthrough, one that continues to define the brand’s legacy.
The example offered here may well be the best we’ve handled, and we’ve seen many.
