## Caption

The Gefica is one of the most important watches in the history of Gérald Genta’s creations.
 
In an original prototype design from Genta, the Gefica wristwatch was born from a special request made by three hunters who were looking for a watch suitable for their quests. The three gentlemen wanted an integrated compass, moon phases, a functioning alarm and a case that would never reflect the sun from fear of scaring the animals. Thus, bronze was chosen, but to avoid the contact of the unusual metal on the wrist, Gefica’s caseback was made in titanium, paving the way for innovative watch design.
 
This prototype is one of 35 on offer in our sale 'Gérald Genta: Icon of Time', currently open for bidding and accepting Crypto through 22 June. Learn more in our link in bio. #SothebysWatches #GeraldGenta
