Catalogue Essay
The present Gerald Genta is an elegant iteration of the firm’s tourbillon cased in their iconic octagonal-shaped case is a hidden gem from the 1990s. Dressed in yellow gold, it features cylindrical lugs that gives a classic appeal to the present timepiece. With cylindrical blocks followed through the design of its original strap, the feature makes it instantly recognizable. Paired wonderfully with a white porcelain dial with painted radial Roman numerals, a one-minute tourbillon escapement is proudly displayed at the 6 o’clock position. Once turned, the sapphire display caseback reveals an impressive hand-engraved movement composed on 18K gold and the firm’s signature self-winding rotor. Numbered 55 on its caseband and preserved in attractive overall condition, this present example is one for the many Genta collectors.
