Gérald Genta Octo Biretro Black Limited Edition
Dressed in an 18K red of white gold case, the new Gérald Genta Octo Biretro Black limited edition watch stands out with its lacquered black dial .
The Octo collection is a benchmark in the Gérald Genta universe. The cleverly structured octagonal shape exemplifies a design that was and has remained resolutely avant-garde.
Appearing here with a black-lacquered dial, the Biretro model presents a deceptively unassuming appearance. This monochrome approach accentuates the daring lines and dimensions of the case, along with the sophisticated structure of the hour, minute and date displays.
This version provides a whole new vision of the Octo line’s signature finely partitioned dial, along with the intensity of the lacquer applied in successive layers to the various cavities before being hand polished to achieve a perfectly smooth surface.
At Gérald Genta, the Biretro movement created in 1996 is a flagship calibre symbolising the brand’s inventive approach to complications. The jumping-hour window is cleverly associated with the overlapping pointer-type retrograde minute and date indications. At the heart of the Octo, the date displayed on the arc of a circle at 6 o’clock forms a stylised figure eight with the central octagon, surrounded by the staggered partitioned tracks of the minute numerals.
The Gérald Genta Octo Biretro Black houses a self-winding calibre decorated according to high-end traditions. It features distinctive Gérald Genta touches such as concentric circular graining and the exclusive old gold Potter finish. This fine craftsmanship is visible through a sapphire case-back secured by eight pentagonal screws.
The Gérald Genta Octo Biretro Black watch is available in four limited series with white or red gold cases in X (39 mm-diameter) or Y (42.5 mm-diameter) sizes.
The complete edition comprises 15 of each X model, 35 of each Y model in white gold and 60 of the same in red gold. All versions come with black alligator leather straps.
