In 1986, Gérald Genta’s much loved Disney Collection was born. It was first designed on the request of the CEO of Disney, who himself was a Genta watch collector, and who wanted a watch for his mother based on her favourite character, Bambi. Genta delivered the watch and in return requested a license to make high quality and rare limited edition Disney watches incorporating the most beloved characters - Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck or Minnie Mouse - with the same high attention to detail and featuring the retrograde complication and confined to 18 carat gold and then steel casing. The ‘Fantasy’ range continue to be some of the most impressive, and expensive Disney watches ever made and will lead the last of the series of sales dedicated to the designs of Gérald Genta taking place in New York in April. gerald.genta.heritage #SothebysXGenta #GeraldGenta #SothebysWatches #WatchesofInstagram #IconofTime #Disney #DisneyWatch #MickeyMouse
