Octagonal Skeleton Perpetual Calendar Moonphase

In fact…

This piece can be easily confused with the Reference 3019 which is a minute repeater. The Cartier-inspired “Vendôme” lugs is also another inclusion of bold, iconic design feature on this piece. This vintage piece is one of a few variations from Gerald Genta’s iconic octagonal masterpiece.

Gerald Genta created some of the most iconic pieces in the watch industry with his forward-thinking design philosophy which is still actively duplicated by watch brands today. He is a designer sought out by luxury brands and iconic creations included the Constellation for Omega, the Golden Ellipse for Universe Genève, The Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet, The Nautilus for Patek Philippe, Pasha de Cartier and of course, the Mickey Mouse Watch.

Once kicked out of a watch fair for presenting his collection of cartoon-inspired watches, his creations are highly sought-after today as they are very limited in number, and of exceptional make. Genta’s talent was not only found in luxury swiss brands, but also in brands such as Hamilton, and Bulova in the USA, and he even designed for Seiko. As an artist, Genta’s creations mirrored his persona in ways that are creative, atypical, outspoken and limitless.
