Best remembered for pioneering the now-ubiquitous sports steel watch trend, Gérald Genta’s design legacy encompasses some of the 20th century’s most iconic timepieces. Few watches are as instantly recognizable, cherished, and imitated as those crafted by Genta, including the Universal Genève Polerouter, Patek Philippe’s Golden Ellipse, and Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak. Genta’s creative brilliance, however, truly shone with the launch of his eponymous brand in 1969.
