Gérald Genta
Regarded as one of the most important figures in watchmaking in recent
times, the late Gerald Genta was known mostly for designing the now
“viral” Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus.
However, Gerald Genta also made his very own timepieces under his name.
In
the 1980s, Gerald Genta won the rights to produce timepieces to
commemorate Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. Since then, Gerald Genta has
produced numerous models featuring the famous cartoon character.
The
present example belongs to a limited edition of 80 pieces. Encased in a
45mm diameter titanium case, the timepiece features a bi-retrograde
function to indicate the minutes and the date with an articulated arm of
Mickey Mouse with a jumping mechanism to depict the hours. Presented in
excellent overall condition and accompanied by the full set of
accessories, it is indeed a fun watch to acquire.
