Once Gérald Genta began his own collections, some models were highly recognizable and could easily be linked back to him. This very design is a testimony to his work and features the famous octagonal case shape and skeletonized dial. Unlike some other well-known models, this skeletonized perpetual on calendar on the right also features a highly complicated minute repeater and both watches are equipped with the integrated gold bracelets.

 

Executed by Genta in 1983, this pair of watches belong to the Gold on Gold series and was one of the favourite models of Gérald Genta. To him, it truthfully embodied his vision of the perfect octagon.
