127 - Universal Genève Automatic Micro-Rotor, reference 869117—a vintage timepiece with understated charm. This example bears serial number 2842685 and features an elegant polished stainless steel case. The silver dial features applied baton hour markers, complemented by a date window and a central seconds hand that underscore its character as a vintage dress watch. At the heart of this Universal beats the self-winding Caliber 1-69, a micro-rotor movement developed by the Geneva-based manufacturer. The case measures 30.6 mm in diameter and 8.8 mm in thickness, a compact and elegant size. The Plexiglas crystal lends the watch that soft, vintage aesthetic typical of vintage timepieces. The condition is remarkable: the case, dial, bezel, and crystal show only barely visible signs of wear. The brown leather strap and its pin buckle are later additions, offering this timepiece a comfortable new lease on life. The watch is sold on its own, without a box or original papers. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a Universal Genève with a classic style and proportions that are generous for a woman’s wrist or a discreet look, in a condition that will delight enthusiasts of refined mechanical watchmaking.
