Get your hands on this serviced Universal Genève Altesse ref. 842.101 with a 17-jewel in-house cal. 42 hand-wound movement, slim stainless-steel case, white Roman-numeral dial, original polished crystal, signed crown and original UG buckle. A refined vintage unisex dress watch supplied with a new leather strap and 3-month functionality guarantee. Model History: The Universal Genève Altesse is a slim, understated dress-watch line from the brand’s later mechanical era. “Altesse” translates from French as “Highness”, a fitting name for a model defined by elegant proportions, a thin case and clean two-hand layout. This ref. 842.101 is powered by Universal Genève’s in-house cal. 42, a compact 17-jewel manual-wind movement designed for ultra-slim watches. The white dial with Roman numerals, simple baton hands and slim polished steel case gives the watch a formal, versatile character that works equally well as a smaller men’s dress watch or an elegant unisex piece.
