An attractive pink gold triple calendar wristwatch with moonphases
Full-Cataloguing
The present pink gold triple calendar wristwatch is a fine example from Universal Genève. At one time the Henri Stern Watch Agency in New York distributed the brand and one sees similarities in both. The 34 mm diameter case has elegant down turned lugs with a dial symmetry that is well thought out and easy to read.
