Details & Specifications
Description:
The Gerald Genta Retro Bi-Retrograde is a masterclass in unconventional horological design, born from Gerald Genta's pioneering combination of jumping hours and retrograde minutes on a single dial—a world-first in watchmaking history when introduced. Crafted from 18k rose gold, its bold octagonal-influenced case with a heavily fluted crown offers a striking, unmistakable wrist presence. The dial, finished in brown and black guilloché with a jump hour aperture at 12 o'clock, a sweeping red retrograde minute hand tracking a scale from 00 to 60, and a smaller retrograde date sub-dial below, is powered by an automatic movement, offering genuinely playful and technically ambitious timekeeping.
With its smooth fluted bezel, sapphire crystal, and black alligator leather strap, this Genta Retro bridges avant-garde mechanical creativity with wearable luxury. Signed "Gerald Genta, Genève" on the dial, this watch remains a true conversation piece—equally at home as a collector's centrepiece or as a bold daily statement from one of watchmaking's most influential designers.
This piece presents in excellent condition.
