UNIVERSAL GENÈVE TRI-COMPAX TRIPLE CALENDAR MOONPHASE 18K YELLOW/ROSE GOLDFresh from local estate - fantastic great condition one of the finest looking examples listed on eBay in recent months! See below the rarities that make this a watch that will make all your horologist friends envious of this timepiece!This timepiece is unusual and RARE having German Language Day and Month abbreviated dials!SON or Sonntag - SundayMON or Montag - MondayDIE or Dienstag- TuesdayMIT or Mittwoch - WednesdayDON or Donnerstag - ThursdayFRE or Freitag - FridaySAM or Samstag - SaturdayAnother RARE aspect of this piece is that there is no "GENEVE" on the face below "UNIVERSAL"! I haven't found another like it! Very cool!Another RARE unique feature of this design is the two tone makeup of 18K yellow gold with 18K rose gold pushers! NICE!This has the Cal. 481 movement.See photos, more available upon request as well as a video showing the movement. Working condition - but not fully tested. No band included - it had a solid gold 14k band that was not original and was removed and sold separately.Available for viewing at our local branch bank in Litchfield CT. There is no doubt that there has been a meteoric resurgence that vintage Universal Genève has experienced in recent years. Pushed by an increasingly cult-like following, it is hard not to fall for the old-school charm that these watches exude. The Tri-Compax in particular, Universal Genève’s most complex chronograph, and certainly it’s most sought after, has largely come to epitomise this phenomenon.THE TRI-COMPAXThe Universal Genève lineage can mainly be divided into two great families - The Compax (Chronograph) and The Triple Calendar. Today we focus on a sub-segment of the Compax range, The Tri-Compax - a Triple Calendar Moon Phase watch with Chronograph. As mentioned previously, outside of Rattrapantes and certain special timepieces, the Tri-Compax is the crown-jewel of vintage Universal Genève.
