Gerald Genta's La 19 collection represents a bold and innovative chapter in watchmaking, blending avant-garde design with mechanical mastery. This reference G 3144.7 is an exceptional example of this visionary approach, crafted in yellow gold and featuring a distinctive 32mm three-body case with a flat bezel, extended lugs, and gold screwed bars that enhance both durability and aesthetic appeal. The case back, ensures robustness, while four pushers integrated into the band allow for a quick date change, demonstrating the watch’s practical ingenuity. The silver cream-colored dial is a masterpiece of complexity and elegance, featuring an outer minute track that contrasts beautifully with the gold case. The dial layout is dominated by multiple subsidiary dials: one for the day of the month, with painted Arabic numerals, and another for the days of the week and date, both designed for optimal readability. A unique aperture on the right side of the dial indicates the leap year cycle, marked by the word "BISESTILE" in a refined font, showcasing the watch’s perpetual calendar function. At the top of the dial, a gold ring aperture encircles a striking lapis lazuli background for the moon phase display, enhancing the watch’s celestial elegance. This timepiece captures the spirit of Gerald Genta’s innovative designs, where technical brilliance meets artistic sophistication.
