Vintage 1975 Universal Geneve White Shadow Micro-Rotor Serviced Gay Frères
An outstanding, almost unworn example of one of Universal Genève’s most sought-after dress watches. This White Shadow is complete with its original Gay Frères bracelet, retains its original signed plexi crystal, and presents as a near-perfect example of this highly collectible model.
Dating to circa 1975, this piece embodies the clean, refined design language Universal Genève became known for during the mid-century era, influenced by Gérald Genta. The stainless steel case remains sharp and beautifully preserved, paired with its original Gay Frères bracelet, still fitted with the gold Universal Genève logo tag, an increasingly rare and desirable detail.
The dial features a crisp white finish with elegant baton hour markers, offering the understated sophistication the White Shadow is celebrated for.
Powered by Universal Genève’s micro-rotor automatic caliber 2-67, the watch maintains its ultra-slim profile while delivering excellent performance. The movement has just been professionally serviced and is currently keeping excellent time.
Overall, a beautifully preserved and highly original example, exactly what collectors look for in a White Shadow.

A Note on Vintage Watch Ownership
Vintage mechanical watches, while robust and reliable, are not as precise as modern quartz timepieces and may require periodic servicing. Some gentle wear and natural patina should be expected with an original watch of this age. Treated with care, it will continue to be enjoyed for many years to come.
At TEMPO PRIMA, we believe vintage watches should not be worn in water, regardless of their original specifications. We do not pressure-test vintage watches and therefore cannot guarantee water resistance. To preserve the longevity and integrity of these timepieces, we strongly recommend keeping them dry and avoiding any exposure to moisture.
