Legendary watch designer Gérald Genta, most celebrated for his creation of the Nautilus for Patek Philippe and the Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet, turned his hand to over 100,000 designs in his lifetime, including haute joaillerie pieces. These five wristwatches, which appear to be set with diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds, reflect the variety of his contribution to the watch industry, revealed by the Icon of Time sales on offer at Sotheby’s Geneva this week. Drop by La Fondation de la Haute Horlogeire in Geneva to discover his designs yourself until February 23. #GeraldGenta #SothebysXGerald gerald.genta.heritage
