Very rare is the watch that can check multiple boxes in the hearts and heads of watch collectors, which is the very reason that any collector — or future collector — needs a Polerouter.

With its ties to the great Gérald Genta — who was only 24 when he designed it — stunning looks, a horologically-significant movement and an interesting history to boot, the Polerouter is an amazing value proposition that punches far above its weight class.

This particular Polerouter, a Reference 204607/1, dates to circa 1965 and features a 35.5mm stainless steel twisted-lug case with a signed acrylic crystal, signed crown, a glossy black Tritium 'gilt-crosshair' dial with a matching dauphine handset, and UG's Calibre 69 automatic-winding 'microtor' movement within.

A culmination of design details such as the gorgeous graduated chapter ring with integrated asymmetric date window, the 'crosshair' dial, thin case construction housing its microrotor movement, the twisted lug case, and the outstanding build quality throughout leave us with a truly important watch from the most famous watch designer in history.

When you strap it on your wrist you’ll quickly see why collectors are always on the hunt for exceptional Polerouters such as this one!
