Launched in 1969, Gerald Genta, the brand, was founded by the famed eponymous watch designer best known for creating the Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak amongst countless other 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. Amongst those pieces of horological royalty was this, Genta’s perpetual calendar that was introduced in the mid 1990s. Not one to skimp on the finer details, this Perpetual Calendar is a beautifully constructed timepiece that showcases a wealth of luxury across the range of materials that were used to make it. As such, it features a stainless steel case that boasts a perfectly circular construction with a stepped bezel and central lug design and a dark blue meteorite effect dial that boasts golden chapter rings for the subdials and a bright blue lapis lazuli moonphase indicator at 12 o’clock that serves as a subtle pop of color to this stunning timepiece.

Watch is in near-mint overall condition. There is little wear visible on the watch.

While he might be best-known for the Nautilus and Royal Oak and the design language that he inadvertently created, Genta's diverse portfolio of designs has given us an array of interesting watches, one of which being this stunner.
