Gérald Genta managed to give such a strong and distinctive identity to his creations that they are instantly recognizable.

The dial does not even need to be signed, its aesthetic instantly reveals its prestigious paternity.

It naturally starts with the octagonal bezel, the most famous signature of the artist.

Its integrated gold bracelet, beautifully articulated is another unmissable signature.

It is further a most attractive example of a representation of a sport scene both elegantly rendered and used to serve the function of a watch, telling the time.

The polo player indicates the minutes through his mallet while the ball, in contrasting red, tells the hours.

The calibrated bezel is the final touch to further improve both the aesthetic and the readability of the timepiece.

This design is a wonderful example for someone looking to acquire an original design by Gérald Genta in his purest and most representative style.
