Gérald Genta
The yellow gold Skeleton Grand Complication ref. G.4043.4
Exceedingly rare 18K yellow gold Gérald Genta Minute repeating, Tourbillon and Perpetual calendar ref. G.4043.4, manufactured in 1990’s.
The present example stands out for the fusion of its extraordinary rarity, impressive design and amazing great complications.
As we can see from the engraved “N.1” on the case side, it represent the first one produced of 3 example known.
This gorgeous self winding gem of complications incorporates a minute repeating mechanism, a Tourbillon regulator along with a leap year perpetual calendar and moon phases.
Preserved in superlative condition, the 35mm water resistant case is enhanced by the stepped bezel, the beautiful straight lugs and the 2 crowns positioned at 3 and 9 o’clock position which creates a perfectly balanced effect.
The captivating engraved gold skeletonized rotor bearing the initials “GG” arises from the transparent case back surrounded by 8 gold powerful screws.
The magnificent Skeleton dial represents a masterpiece of design and harmony.
The MoonPhase aperture at 12 o’clock position, made with a wonderful lapis lazuli disk, shines upon the dial lighting it up with its fascinating deep blue tone and creating a harmonious contrast with the 3 other white mother of pearl subsidiary rings.
The 8 tritium coated round indexes and the "Sword" yellow gold tritium hands give a final touch of elegance and character to the whole timepiece.
Definitely a unique and unmistakable opportunity for the greatest collectors and sophisticate connoisseurs.
Notably known for being the genial and visionary designer of the legendary Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus, Gérald Genta was also known for creating some of the most fascinating timepieces under his own brand name established in 1969, also introducing new ways to read time with his retrograde and bi-retrograde movements.
