Universal Genève White Shadow Ellipse

Watch Information:

We are delighted to offer this 1960s Universal Genève White Shadow Ultra Slim, reference 866104, with an elliptical steel case and a sunray blue dial in perfect condition. 

Its silhouette naturally recalls that of the famous Patek Philippe Ellipse, with which it shares this shape different from traditional round cases.

The blue dial is probably one of the most eye-catching elements. Depending on the light, its reflections change and give the whole piece a lot of depth. It is difficult to find one without patina or scratches!

With its dimensions of 31 by 34mm, its stainless steel case offers particularly interesting proportions on the wrist. The integrated steel mesh bracelet, also in excellent condition, naturally extends the lines of the case and can suit a wrist measuring up to 20 cm.

Beneath this slimness lies one of the aspects that make this watch particularly interesting in our eyes: the UG 2-66 caliber, a micro-rotor automatic movement. This movement configuration became emblematic of certain Universal Genève watches from this period, and brings a real technical dimension to the watch.

This is precisely the kind of watch we love to unearth as collectors and sellers: a piece that does not try to overdo it with design, but whose details gradually appear when you take the time to look at it. The slimness of the case, the reflections of the dial, its elliptical shape, and the micro-rotor form a very coherent whole.

Its near-mint condition, particularly appreciated on a watch from this era, perfects a piece that we have had a lot of pleasure in selecting.
