Reasons to Bid

Gérald Genta is celebrated for designing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus, yet his independent work shows an equally bold and distinctive approach to form and detail. This unique Ref. G2727, featuring an Abalone dial, reflects that creative freedom. Measuring 24 x 32 mm, the watch is compact, with careful attention given to its finer elements: the Abalone dial and bezel, along with a hand-engraved movement, create a cohesive and expressive design. Through its unconventional style and precision in craftsmanship, this Gérald Genta piece presents elegance articulated entirely in the designer’s own aesthetic language.
