108 Gerald Genta A playful and catching, wristwatch in yellow gold with Pink Panther mother of pearl dial

Estimate: CHF 3,000 –⁠ 6,000

This delightful and playful octagonal watch in yellow gold by Gérald Genta is a fantastic representation of the designer’s creative genius. Featuring a mother-of-pearl dial adorned with a vibrant and humorous depiction of the Pink Panther, this watch brings an element of whimsy to haute horology. The character’s hands cleverly double as the hour and minute hands, making the watch not only a practical timepiece but also a charming work of art. Gérald Genta was well known for incorporating iconic characters into his designs, with many of his watches featuring beloved Disney figures such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Donald Duck. These designs were a daring departure from the traditional conventions of luxury watchmaking, offering a unique blend of sophistication and playful nostalgia. However, the Pink Panther, a non-Disney character, is much rarer in Genta’s creations, making this timepiece an especially sought-after collector's item. Genta’s use of cartoon characters demonstrates his ability to combine technical mastery with a sense of fun, making his watches a celebration of individuality and creativity.
