During Geneva Watch Days 2021, iconic Swiss luxury watch brand Gérald Genta unveiled its Arena Retrograde with Smiling Disney Mickey Mouse limited edition watch.
Featuring Disney’s most iconic mouse, the design has become a signature offering of the Gérald Genta brand and the models have become highly sought-after collectors’ items.
Gérald Genta has been owned by the Bulgari Group since 2000. The limited edition platinum commemorative version of the brand’s 50th anniversary presented in 2019 was followed in 2020 by a new titanium addition to the Arena collection.
The famous mouse appears to be leaping onto the rhodium-plated sunray dial. Its left arm indicates the minutes on a 210-degree retrograde sector meanwhile the jumping hour appears at 5 o’clock.
This automatic mono-retrograde movement has a 42-hour power reserve, housed in the distinctive historical 41 mm-diameter Gérald Genta Arena round polished stainless steel case.
The Gérald Genta Arena Retrograde with smiling Disney Mickey Mouse is a limited edition of just 150 pieces.
Visible through the sapphire crystal case-back, the BVL262 calibre beats at 28,800 vph.
