Gerald Genta Arena Tourbillon Snow White
The new Gerald Genta Arena Tourbillon Snow White is a feminine interpretation of the iconic Arena watch with retrograde hours and tourbillon.
Its high-horology mechanical movement reveals its tender “old gold” colour, an exclusive feature that the brand refers to as a Potter finish. Above it sits an open-worked plate adorned with screws and leaving ample space for the tourbillon and the seconds display.
The dominant grey metal, circular brushed on the surface of the grid and polished on the modernised tourbillon bridge, is accented with some warm old gold touches on the screw heads and the seconds circle.
The delicate dial composition is complemented by a snow-white retrograde hour arc of a circle and a minute circle.
They respectively feature stamped hour-markers and applied rhodium-plated polished numerals. In a final subtle touch, the hands are skeletonised to preserve the architectural harmony distinguishing the face of the Arena Tourbillon Snow White.
The Arena Tourbillon Snow White features a luxurious platinum case and diamond-set palladium bezel, while the naturally white strap is in genuine crocodile leather.
Inside the watch beats Calibre GG9053, a self-winding tourbillon movement that is technically remarkable in terms of its slenderness (5.90 mm thick), its large power reserve (64 hours) and the perfect integration of its retrograde hour display.
This exceptional wristwatch for women boasts several finishing and decorations carried out by Gérald Genta watchmakers: circular graining, bevelling, polishing, circular satin polishing, straightening, and drawn-out flanks – everything is hand-crafted in keeping with the noblest traditions.
