Gérald Genta G3069.7

Gerald Genta Asymmetric G3069.7 MOP Dial Quartz 18k YG Box and Papers

Launched in 1969, Gerald Genta, the brand, was founded by the famed eponymous watch designer best known best for creating the Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak amongst countless other watch designs. While both of those watches were launched in the 1970s, his brand was immediately successful on account of his already growing renown in the industry. With a growing clientele of royalty such as the Moroccan King, the Sultans of both, Oman and Brunei, the King of Spain, the King of Saudi Arabia, the Queen Mother of England and several leading businessmen, sportsmen and entertainers, Gerald Genta's own timepieces quickly became sought-after pieces of horological royalty. Offered here we have Gerald Genta’s answer to the Cartier Tank Asymetrique, the ref. G3069.7. Boasting a diamond-shaped asymmetrical case made of 18kt yellow gold and sporting a Clous de Paris engraved bezel, this timepiece is rich with Genta’s iconic design language. Sporting a silver mother of pearl dial, the G3069.7 is full of luxurious exuberance. Brand : Gerald Genta Dimensions : 26.5mm L x 23.5mm W Model : Asymmetric Movement : Quartz cal.
