Watch collectors may know the name Gerald Genta in association with the Nautilus and the Royal Oak, but Genta also had a lesser known eponymous brand. Both before 1972 — when he conceived of the famed Universal Genève Polerouter and the Omega Constellation — and after 1976, when he designed the Nautilus, Genta churned out watches by the thousands.
Gerald Genta as a brand had a number of exciting designs exploiting geometric shapes and unconventional cases. Genta famously partnered with Disney to make a series of cool watches, most notably, the Mickey Mouse Genta. Regardless, for a design with a bit more character and quirk than your run of the mill boring watch, Genta is a great option.
This particular piece is a beautiful ladies watch that dates back to the 1990s and is executed in 18K yellow gold. Housed in a 22mm case, this timekeeper stands out thanks to its mother of pearl dial, petite lume plots, a matching handset you might recognize from an iconic Genta design and especially, its magnificent yellow gold bracelet with a bullet-like design unlike anything else.
Powered by a quartz movement with a handy date function, this piece has a lot to offer as an everyday timepiece, as well as for the Genta lover who wants to have a watch no one else will be wearing.
