Footnote
In 2023 it was announced that Partners Group, the ownership group behind Breitling watches, had acquired the rights to Universal Geneve. This acquisition was keenly noted by the watch community with renewed anticipation on the future of Universal Geneve watches, and how this would affect the value of vintage examples.
