Gerald Genta Octagonal 'Donald Duck'

Gerald Genta. If you have explored this hobby long enough to find yourself here, browsing our website, chances are you have come across his name.  Perhaps the only watch designer known by name to more than a handful of horological scholars, Gerald Genta's most groundbreaking and iconic designs need no introduction... Moreover, cartoon watches have a special place in the watch world. What started in the early 1930s as something of a marketing ploy, has evolved into a staple of the industry - from $20 quartz pieces and beyond... The watch that we have here combines two great names in the watch and pop culture worlds. Gerald Genta and Donald Duck. With a stylized 18K yellow gold and stainless steel octagonal case, this watch has a seemingly endless number of interesting features, including a octagonal faceted sapphire crystal, a 'Mother of Pearl" dial, "T-bar" lugs with a pale blue alligator strap, and everyone's favorite duck front and center with his hands to tell the time.  This watch checks all the boxes for an interesting, off the beaten path watch and all at an accessible price point!
