While the discussion around Universal Genève is mostly around the brands’ famed Polerouter which was designed by Gerald Genta early in his career. The Polerouter, along with the brands well-known chronograph models are a wonderful rabbit hole to delve into, but we believe the dressier White Shadow models are being almost entirely overlooked. The round case shapes are funky, yet elegant and slim on wrist and house what most collectors would consider to be a very high quality micro-rotor movement. This example boasts a Gay Frères bracelet that’s a joy to wear. Comparing it to the Patek rounded case shapes of the era wouldn’t be too much of a stretch and this model can be enjoyed for a fraction of the cost, without sacrificing much on quality.

This example remains in absolutely incredible "like new old stock" condition. Without a shadow of a doubt it remains completely unpolished (no pun intended). There are only light signs of use with a stretch free bracelet and caseback that is still stickered. If you're a condition stickler, only want to buy the best quality or just simply enjoy time traveling to buy your choice as almost new, this could be the just piece for your growing collection. 

Dial: Mint. Hands: No issues and are matching. Case: Light signs of handling with only faint marks visible in photography. Correct signed crown. Bracelet: Gay Frères that has virtually no stretch. UG signed clasp. Will fit up to a 8 inch wrist with the micro adjust. Crystal: Clear. All functions of the watch operate flawlessly. The movement is running well on our timegrapher and comes with our 1-year mechanical warranty.
Year/era: 1970s Reference: 842111 Serial: Is blocked by the caseback sticker. Dimensions: 35mm wide, 18mm lug width. Movement: Manual winding UG caliber 1-42.

Let's start a conversation if you have any questions about this piece.

If it is sold, we can source one for you.
