Catalogue Essay
With a recent spike in demand for early Gérald Genta timepieces, the community has witnessed a growing appetite for the Retro “Mikey Mouse” collection. In the 1980s, Genta won the rights to produce timepieces to celebrate Walt Disney and cartoon characters from Mickey Mouse series. Since then, these rare timepieces have been produced with various dial designs as well as case materials. The present Retro “Mickey Mouse” is an instant classic encompassing the whimsical mouse swinging a golf club articulated as the indication of its retrograde style minutes. An aperture at the 4 o’clock position features a jumping hour sums up the style of the Genta Retro. With a teal colored dial contrasted against the mother-of-pearl minute track, the appeal is simply vibrant and playful. A delight to view as Mickey swings his golf club across the retrograde minute track, the hour jumps simultaneously once he hits the golf ball for a birdie. Preserved in excellent overall condition the present timepiece is accompanied with its original warranty and full set of accessories.
