Description
This grand masterpiece from Gerald Genta is a piece unique bearing serial number ‘1’ and movement number 13000. No doubt made for a special order, this 34mm watch packs a lot of complications into a mid-size case. Minute repeater, perpetual calendar with leap year and moonphase display surrounded by diamond pave. With its baguette diamond bezel and blue mother of pearl dial and frosted finish throughout the 18k white gold case, this watch is truly special.
Literally every detail of this watch reveals the superior quality of the artisanship and watchmaking virtuosity that went into this Grand Complication.
Let’s begin by noting that this is an automatic winding minute repeater. That fact alone speaks volumes from an engineering and watchmaking perspective. Add the perpetual calendar complication and again, make note of the fact that this movement fits into a 34mm case. Amazing!
The case itself is engraved with “gerald genta” surrounding the crown and “No.1”. The movement is hand assembled, hand decorated and hand finished. And look at the decoration! This is the Genta Caliber 416 with 40 jewels. The minute repeater is activated by depressing the knurled crown at 9 o’clock. This is also a unique aspect to this watch, since practically all other minute repeaters are activated by a slide.
Bracelet is 18k gold in unusual Rouleaux style and will fit an 8 inch wrist comfortably.
