Universal Geneve Presidential Seal Dial Monodatic Reference 100101 in 18K Yellow Gold Unpolished

This is a very cool and special Universal Genève in 18k yellow gold. The dial is a remarkable black and gold dial likely made by Stern Frères in Switzerland for Universal Genève and features the Great Seal of the United States. The watch was recently found in Ohio and our understanding is that it may have come from the family of an American general. The watch is possibly unique and we have not seen another like it. The fact that the gold case back is engraved Universal Genève in the same style as the reference and serial numbers lends further credence to the fact that the dial was made for this case.

The reference 100101 is the Monodatic model of Universal Genève. The Monodatic was the UG competitor to the Rolex Datejust in that it had a date and was automatic.

It measures 34.5mm in diameter (42mm lug to lug). We believe the case is unpolished. It is powered by an automatic bumper movement.

The watch does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well.

This is truly one of the most eye-catching Universal Genève watches we have seen and would be a great addition to any collection. It has been in my personal collection since I acquired it last year, but I am excited to offer it to our discerning clients.
