Universal Genève Ellipse - New Old Stock

New Old Stock Universal Genève Sigma White Dial Ref. 842125 | Gerald Genta Design | 1970 | Unused with Back Stickers

This New Old Stock (NOS) Universal Genève Sigma Ref. 842125 is a rare and pristine timepiece designed by the legendary Gerald Genta, known for his iconic designs such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus. Released in 1970, this watch features a stunning white dial with printed Roman numerals and an oval stainless steel case that is just 6mm thick, making it incredibly sleek and wearable.

The integrated Milanese-style bracelet is soft and supple, designed to fit wrists up to 8.25 inches. Powered by the manual wind Caliber 1-42 movement, this watch is a testament to Universal Genève’s craftsmanship and Genta’s timeless design philosophy. As a new old stock piece, it comes with its original back stickers attached and is in unused condition, making it a true collector’s gem.

Historical Significance:

The Universal Genève Sigma Ref. 842125 is a product of the 1970s, a decade marked by bold and innovative watch designs. This watch was designed by Gerald Genta, one of the most influential watch designers of the 20th century, who also created iconic models like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus. The Ellipse and Shadow designs were released in 1970, featuring integrated bracelets and sleek, modern aesthetics. This particular model, with its white dial and oval case, is a rare and highly collectible piece, especially in new old stock condition. It represents a unique blend of Genta’s design genius and Universal Genève’s craftsmanship.

Why This Watch Stands Out:

• New Old Stock (NOS): This watch is in pristine, unused condition with its original back stickers attached, making it a rare find for collectors.
• Gerald Genta Design: The oval case and integrated bracelet are hallmarks of Genta’s iconic design language.
• White Dial with Roman Numerals: The elegant white dial with printed Roman numerals is both classic and sophisticated.
• Ultra-Thin Profile: At just 6mm thick, this watch is incredibly sleek and comfortable to wear.
• Integrated Bracelet: The Milanese-style bracelet is soft, supple, and designed to fit up to an 8.25-inch wrist.
• Manual Wind Movement: The Caliber 1-42 movement is reliable and adds to the watch’s vintage charm.
• Mineral Crystal: The mineral crystal adds durability while maintaining the watch’s vintage appeal.
