AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Wristwatch from the mid-1960s, Universal Genève automatic, but with their own in-house automatic system patented featuring a microrotor named POLEREUTER, a unique and prestigious movement of this Swiss maison.

The number 329805 most likely corresponds to the Swiss patent number of the Microtor automatic system. The patent was filed in 1955. Caliber 218-2 is documented in the early 1960s. 

Watch in working order, dial with vintage patina, diameter excluding crown 34 mm. As with all vintage watches, a conservative service is always recommended; no box, no papers, and I do not know the date of the last service.
Crown and strap generic.
