Gerald Genta
Perpetual Calendar
G 3144.7 - Yellow Gold
A rare early 90's self-winding perpetual calendar from the master who shaped some of the most important watches in modern horology. Purchased from the private collection of professional racing driver Colin Hyams, and in un-polished condition.
A refined and beautifully original example from the hand of Gérald Genta. The legendary designer behind the AP Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus, this Perpetual Calendar Ref. 55116 G.3144 showcases the creative direction he pursued during his independent years: sculptural, modern, and mechanically ambitious.
Crafted in 18ct yellow gold, the compact 33mm case carries the smooth, architectural lines characteristic of Genta’s post-icon period, where his focus shifted from integrated bracelets to bold, round forms with strong visual balance. Beneath the distinctive faceted crystal, the dial presents an elegant interplay of texture and colour: a luminous mother-of-pearl surface set with crisp blue calendar tracks and a warm gold handset.
The full perpetual calendar is displayed across four harmoniously arranged subdials; day, date, month, and leap year unified by Genta’s clear sense of proportion. At 12 o’clock, the deep blue lacquered moonphase adds a striking focal point, instantly recognisable as one of his signature design elements from this era.
Presented with its Gerald Genta Box, original kutchinsky bill of sale and setting stylus.
