Gerald Genta was a watch designer for many Swiss luxury watch firms and later created his own line of watches. He was responsible for many of the most iconic watch designs of the 20th century, including the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the Omega Constellation, and the Cartier Pasha de Cartier.
He created his own line and in 1994 created the Grand Sonnerie Retro model, which came to be known as "the world's most complicated wristwatch", retailing for around $2 million. Genta had also collaborated with Disney in the 1980's to create the Mickey Mouse watch. He sold his company in 1998 to Bulgari, which was acquired by LVMH in 2011, and his watches are now produced under LVMH. Genta passed away in August of 2011.
The present watch is a rare timepiece due to the fact the automatic movement incorporates a tourbillon.
