DESCRIPTION

This Universal Genève ladies’ watch from 1978 is a refined example of the brand’s ability to blend fine watchmaking with jewelry-inspired design. During the late 1970s, Universal Genève expanded its collections to include pieces that combined technical expertise with elegance tailored for a feminine audience, and this model is a testament to that vision. Crafted in gold plates, the case reflects the luxurious standards of the era while retaining discreet proportions that make it both elegant and wearable. Its compact size and careful finishing were designed to complement a woman’s wrist, offering not only precision but also a strong sense of style. The dial, understated yet refined, contributes to the harmony of the design, capturing the balance between functionality and ornamentation that defined the brand’s ladies’ line. Inside, the watch is powered by a reliable Swiss movement, showcasing the same horological expertise that established Universal Genève as a leading name in mid-20th-century watchmaking. This combination of technical reliability and aesthetic refinement makes the piece much more than an accessory: it is a miniature timekeeping instrument created with the same care as the brand’s most celebrated models. This particular example, preserved in excellent condition, demonstrates why vintage ladies’ watches from the 1970s are increasingly appreciated by collectors. More than just jewelry, it represents a moment in horological history when elegance and precision were seamlessly combined. For collectors or those seeking a discreet yet precious timepiece, this 1978 Universal Genève ladies’ gold watch offers timeless charm and enduring sophistication.
