Designed in 1954 by Genta at the age of 23, the Universal Polerouter is Gerald Genta's first legendary contribution to watchmaking, made for Universal Geneve in partnership with Scandinavian Airline System (SAS) in order to be resistant enough to face the strong magnetic fields in the North and South Poles.
This version is the Universal Polerouter Date version, with a beautiful cream dial that plays amazingly with the light, and an original and very rare Gay Frere steel bracelet.
The watch is an absolute stunner, and in very good condition given its age. All parts are original except for the crown which has been replaced in the past.
Amazing collector’s piece.
Serviced in June 2024, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
