Product details

This Vintage Universal Genève Tegolino Ref. 542129 is a stunning timepiece from the 1970s, showcasing the brand’s signature elegance and craftsmanship. The watch features a gold-plated stainless steel case with a sleek, rectangular design, measuring 31mm x 24mm (excluding the crown).   The champagne dial adds a touch of sophistication, complemented by the original Universal crown and hand-winding mechanical movement (Caliber 1-42). This watch is in mint condition, with minimal signs of wear, and comes in perfect working order. Whether you’re a vintage watch enthusiast or a fan of Universal Genève, this Tegolino is a rare and beautiful addition to any collection.   Key Features: Brand: Universal Genève Model: Tegolino Reference Number: 542129 Year: 1970s Movement: Universal Genève Caliber 1-42 (Hand-Winding Mechanical) Case Material: Stainless Steel with 20 Microns Gold Plating Dial: Champagne Dial with Gold-Tone Indices Crystal: Acrylic Crown: Original Universal Genève Signed Crown Bracelet: Non-Genuine Strap (Included) Specifications: Case Dimensions: 31mm (Length) x 24mm (Width) Case Thickness: 8mm Lug Width: 18mm Movement: Universal Genève Caliber 1-42 (Hand-Winding, 17 Jewels) Condition: Pre-Owned, Minimal Signs of Use   Historical Significance: Universal Genève, founded in 1894, is renowned for its innovative and elegant timepieces. The Tegolino line, introduced in the 1970s, is celebrated for its sleek, rectangular cases and timeless design. This Ref. 542129, with its gold-plated case and champagne dial, embodies the sophistication and craftsmanship that Universal Genève is known for. As a piece from the 1970s, this watch carries the nostalgia and charm of a bygone era, making it a highly collectible piece.   Why This Watch Stands Out: Gold-Plated Elegance: The 20-micron gold-plated case and champagne dial create a luxurious and timeless look. Hand-Winding Movement: The Universal Genève Caliber 1-42 is a reliable and well-regarded movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping. Original Crown: The signed Universal Genève crown adds to the watch’s authenticity and charm. Versatile Design: The rectangular case and unisex size make this watch suitable for both men and women.   Additional Information:   • Return Policy: 14-day return policy if the watch arrives damaged or in a different condition than shown in pictures. • Warranty: 6-month service warranty included, covering functionality but excluding physical damage or water entry.
