Condition

 

The watch is presented in very good vintage condition. Its gold sunburst dial is clean and well preserved, displaying an attractive radial finish that changes subtly according to the lighting. The applied baton hour markers, two hands and Universal Genève signature remain clear and neatly presented.

 

The gold-plated case retains an attractive, bright finish. It shows light scratches and small signs of handling consistent with age, but no significant damage is visible. The characteristic shaped case and extended lugs remain well defined. The signed Universal Genève crown is present.

 

The original crystal is clear and free from visible scratches. The stainless-steel case back displays light surface marks, while part of the original factory sticker remains in place - a particularly appealing detail for a vintage example.

 

A new black leather strap with a matching gold-tone buckle has been fitted. The Universal Genève calibre 11 hand-wound movement was serviced in August 2026 and is functioning correctly.

 

The watch has been serviced by our professional watchmaker and tested for full functionality. The water resistance of the watch cannot be guaranteed.
