Founded in Le Locle, Switzerland in 1894, Universal Genève earned its place among the great Swiss watchmakers through decades of horological innovation — producing movements of exceptional precision and cases of enduring beauty. This vintage example is a testament to that legacy: a solid 18k yellow gold timepiece that is as much a jewel as it is a watch.
The intricate woven gold bracelet and case weigh a substantial 43.1 grams of solid 18k yellow gold — the kind of presence that announces itself the moment it graces the wrist. The tiger eye dial, with its natural chatoyant shimmer, is framed by a diamond-set face beneath durable sapphire crystal, combining organic warmth with brilliant sparkle. Hallmarks on the clasp's tongue confirm its authenticity. The bracelet fits a wrist of 6 to 6.5 inches.
Presented in very good pre-owned condition with a light scratch on the sapphire crystal consistent with age — a rare opportunity to acquire a significant piece of Swiss horological and jewelry history.
