Today I return to Gerald Genta and his iconic watches, to discuss his most underrated masterpiece that you can still buy today for under $1000. In this video I unbox an absolute gem and discuss where it fits in among his most famous watches, including the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Patek Nautilus, and many more. In doing so, I also found that this watch went on to inspire one of Patek's most iconic dress watches from the last fifty years. And with Keanu Reeves making the Patek Golden Ellipse popular and desirable again, it's never been a better time to enjoy this somewhat overlooked watch from Universal Geneve. But there's a plot twist. Aside from being influential and ahead of its time, inside this watch was the thinnest, record breaking, automatic in-house movement during the 1960s and 1970s. What do you think of the watch featured in this video? And what is your favorite Genta designed watch, and why? Please share in the comments!
