Genta's Masterpiece: Universal Genève Polerouter Date (1964)
This Universal Genève vintage, model Polerouter Date produced in 1964, is much more than a watch: it's a piece of design history. Designed by the legendary Gérald Genta (the father of the Royal Oak and the Nautilus) at just 23 years old, it embodies the golden age of watchmaking elegance. It is an essential vintage men's watch for any serious collector.
Its steel case of 35.5mm is presented here in a rare configuration with classic straight lugs. This clean architecture offers a geometric and timeless presence on the wrist. The brushed silver dial, of absolute purity, ensures perfect readability thanks to its dauphine hands and date window.
But the true treasure of this Universal Genève Polerouter is hidden inside: it is powered by the famous Micro-Rotor automatic movement. A patented technical feat that allowed the creation of remarkably thin automatic watches (11mm here), without sacrificing precision.
A "Grail" piece for vintage watch enthusiasts, combining the signature of a great designer with a major mechanical innovation.
Why did we select it?
- Because it carries the DNA of Gérald Genta, the greatest watch designer of the 20th century.
- For its Micro-Rotor movement, a technical marvel as beautiful to look at as it is efficient.
- Its history linked to the conquest of the North Pole (SAS), making it a true "Tool Watch" dressed up.
