The UG Polerouter made a lasting mark in horology with its romantic ties to aviation. Introduced in 1954, the model was released in partnership with Scandinavian Airline System (SAS), with the goal of creating a timepiece that was more resistant to higher magnetism experienced in the North and South Poles. The Polerouter is of course also coveted for being a Gerald Genta design and at only 24 years old at the time, its considered his first great contribution to horology. He would of course go on to design two of the most iconic pieces of the 20th century with the Nautilus and Royal Oak and more. Today collectors are coveting the Polerouter as much as ever with the recent release of the Polerouter book in late '23. It was also around this time that the news of Breitling acquiring UG broke, which many collectors hope will further invigorate appreciation for the brand with its re-inception. 

This pink gold example is cased in 18k and houses a black dial that has taken on a striking and even "starry night" patina. Like most Polerouters, it is fitted with a set of dauphine style hands that are non-luminous to match the non lume dial. the case has remained in sharp condition with original chamfers and engravings still clearly visible. This all houses a high grade micro-rotor caliber 215 movement.
