Rare pre-50s Calatrava: Universal Bumper-Automatic

Universal Geneve Bumper-Automatic Calatrava


CHF 2,600

WHY WE LOVE IT? An early UG automatic -- we date it to 1949 -- and a predecessor of the celebrated PoleRouter.

Made in 1949 and so in a time when Rolex had secured the patent protection for 360°-rotor automatics -- and the bumper automatic was a way to offer a self-winding movement without breaching these regulations.
