1970s Universal Geneve White Shadow Automatic Blue 866050

Here we have the rare 1970s Universal Geneve White Shadow Automatic Blue 866050, launched in 1966. This collection was designed by the innovative mind of Gerald Genta. The beautiful, polished 34mm elliptical-shaped stainless steel case glides effortlessly on your wrist, complemented by its integrated stainless steel adjustable bracelet. It has a lug-to-lug length of 31mm and a case thickness of just 6mm, ensuring a comfortable fit. On the right side, there is a coin-edged signed crown. The thin, polished, smooth bezel holds a flat crystal above a stunning sunburst blue dial. Applied steel batons mark the hours, and stick hands sit majestically in the centre. At noon, we have the Universal Geneve motif, and at 6 o’clock, ‘White Shadow Automatic’ completes this sophisticated, minimalist dress watch. On the reverse, a solid snap-off case back, inside a micro-rotor automatic UG Cal. 2-66, 25 jewels, beating at 19,800 beats per hour. This in-house 2.5mm movement was the thinnest automatic in the world at that time; it was designed by Gerard Berret, who joined Patek Philippe in 1968. It comes paired with a flowing 22mm integrated-mesh stainless steel bracelet and an adjustable, signed sliding clasp. This watch is sold with its original Universal Geneve box.
