Universal Genève Salmon Gilbert Albert Dial 18845-1 in 18K Rose Gold Unpolished

This Universal Genève reference 18845-1 is a very special example in 18k rose gold. The case appears to be unpolished and features a beautiful Florentine finish. The case measures 26mm in diameter (32mm lug to lug). It is paired on a very nice Hermes leather strap.

This dial configuration is often referred to by collectors as “parachute dials” and are seen on several of the Gilbert Albert models from Patek Philippe and also seen on some watches from Swiss watch fairs during the early 1960s. The painted diagonal lines can be seen in the “Montres Golf” reference 783 designed by Gilbert Albert, as well as on a special Patek Philippe reference 3423.

The manual wind movement was just serviced and is running well. It does not come with box and papers.
