Universal Geneve Polerouter Ref. 869112

he Polerouter by Universal Genève was first introduced in 1954 and was designed by Gérald Genta, the artist behind the AP Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus. Over time, the Polerouter evolved from its initial Genta design in 1954 to being featured on most of Universal Genève’s time-only watches from the 1970s, resulting in around 1,000 variations. The model referenced as 869112, dating back to the early 1970s, showcases the microtor self-winding movement that became a signature of this watch family. This specific model illustrates the extensive range of Polerouter watches produced during this era while retaining many elements of Genta’s original design.
