Universal Genéve 10237 Cioccolatone 1956

This Universal Genéve Square in 18k rose gold is something really special and you won't see often on other wrists. It was produced only over a 7 year span between 1955-1962. It has some elements of the Polerouter such as the bezel, which is not triumphant on the dial as usual but on the 18k rose gold square case. This design detail exudes a different kind of magic and creates a surprising presence on the wrist.

In collectors circles these watch shape is also called "Cioccolatone" (Italian for chocolate). Our example comes in great condition. This particular reference 10237 2 was produced only by around 20-50 pieces in 1956, which makes it even more desirable for watch enthusiasts around the world.
