A truly breathtaking and remarkable find, this 1967 Universal Geneve Automatic White Shadow is in new old stock condition complete with its original signed alligator strap and UG tang buckle with most of the original price tag sticker still on the back. STUNNING in every sense of the word. From the unique and beautifully textured dial to the soft brushed finish of the ultra-thin case (6.8mm), to the gorgeous freshly serviced caliber 1-66 micro-rotor movement within this timepiece is both a design and engineering work of art by the famous house of UG, preserved in virtually the same condition it would have been displayed almost 60 years ago!! Gorgeous on the wrist and keeping excellent time after a full service here at Meticulous, this rare find will please even the most meticulous of collectors. Don't miss it!!
