    The world of horology would not be the same without Gérald Genta, who famously designed the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus, both having achieved legendary status as luxury sports watches. Under his own brand name, Genta also created some of the most brilliant timepieces.

    In the 1980s, Genta obtained an exclusive license from the Walt Disney company to design limited edition watches that incorporated iconic Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse, in either 18K gold or steel casing. Debuted as the ‘Fantasy’ collection, the timepieces was defined by high-precision watch mechanisms and the magical world of Walt Disney. The present timepiece from circa 1988 is certainly a special one worthy of collection as it is numbered 1 of a limited edition series made to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of Disney’s most celebrated character Mickey Mouse.
