Catalogue Note
Established in 1969, Gerald Genta always took "haute horlogerie" seriously and this has never been more apparent than today. The Gerald Genta Perpetual Calendar watches for example lends a time honored elegance with its stainless steel, yellow or white gold octagonal case. What immediately takes your attention is the vivid blue surrounding the moon phases at the 12 o’clock position. This is complemented by the perpetual calendar layout and the simple hour and minute hands.
