IF YOU CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS YOU WILL SEE I AM PULLING OUT SOME OF THE FINEST AND MOST DESIRABLE VINTAGE WRIST & POCKET WATCHES FOR AUCTION – YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
NO RESERVE AUCTION – OFFERED FOR AUCTION IS A VERY COLLECTABLE 1950 “UNIVERSAL GENEVE” 18-KARAT SOLID GOLD MEN’S WRIST WATCH WITH THE UNIVERSAL CALIBER 264, 17-JEWEL MOVEMENT!
THIS WATCH IS RUNNING STRONG AND KEEPING TIME – THE BALANCE HAS EXCELLENT POISE AND A STRONG STEADY BEAT! THE MOVEMENT IS CRISP & CLEAN!
THE “PIEDIAL” STYLE EARLY DIAL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, I LOVE THE TRIANGULAR MARKERS NEXT TO THE HOUR MARKERS. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT IS AN EARLY RESTORED/REFINISHED DIAL, BUT I CANNOT BE SURE. IT MIGHT BE ORIGINAL.
THE DIAL HAS SOLID GOLD APPLIED ARABIC HOUR MARKERS AND MATCHING SOLID GOLD HANDS. THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE DIAL IS EXCELLENT WITH JUST VERY LIGHT SURFACE AGE PATINA IF YOU LOOK VERY CLOSELY.
THE DIAL, CASE AND MOVEMENT ARE SIGNED “UNIVERSAL GENEVE”. WITH THE STRAP REMOVED, THE WATCH WEIGHS 21.9 GRAMS.
THE 18-KARAT SOLID GOLD SNAP BACK CASE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THIS IS THE UNIVERSAL CALIBER 264 SO THE CASE MEASURES 32.5mm IN DIAMETER AND 38mm FROM LUG TO LUG. THE LUGS ARE SOLID GOLD AND TAKE AN 18mm STRAP!
THE HIGH GRADE UNIVERSAL CALIBER 264 MOVEMENT IS IN VERY GOOD PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL CONDITION AND RUNNING STRONG.
UNIVERSAL STARTED USING THEIR CALIBER 264 AROUND 1945. IT WAS SUCH A RELIABLE, WORK HORSE THAT THEY CONTINUED TO USE THIS CALIBER UNTIL ABOUT 1955. THIS WATCH HAS AN INSCRIPTION ON THE CASE BACK “D.M.S. 3-26-50 THAT ACCURATELY DATES THE WATCH.
THE CALIBER 264 BEATS AT A FREQUENCY OF 18,000A/hr AND HAS A POWER RESERVE OF 36 HOURS.
THE WATCH COMES ON A VERY NICE, JET BLACK, GENUINE LEATHER STRAP (not Universal) AND THEY LOOK FANTASTIC TOGETHER – SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE VERY PLEASED!
I am offing this beautiful 18k solid gold vintage Universal WITH NO RESERVE! Buyer to pay $16.00 for shipping in the US and $39.00 Shipping for overseas (Actual cost). GOOD LUCK!
