Gérald Genta, a legendary figure in modern watch design, left an indelible mark on horology with creations such as the Royal Oak and Nautilus. His eponymous brand, founded in 1969, embraced a fearless spirit of mechanical innovation and architectural flair. The Arena collection exemplifies this ethos with bold, round sculptural presence, where finishing and complication remain center stage. With Genta’s creative vision, the Arena became a canvas for pushing technical limits, blending traditional complications with avant-garde aesthetics. The Arena Perpetual Calendar GMT reference AQG.Y.66 in white gold and tantalum is perhaps the most compelling expression of Genta’s design genius. Housed in a formidable 45mm white-gold case and paired with a matte-finished tantalum bezel, the watch offers a striking contrast between warm precious metal and cool technical metal. The semi-skeletonized dial reveals the multi-layered mechanics of its in-house Calibre GG7044 automatic movement, displaying local hours and minutes, a second timezone, and full perpetual calendar including leap year indication—all balanced in a rosette layout. Subtly applied Arabic numerals, skeleton hands, and vibrant red accents combine legibility with Genta’s bold aesthetic. Kept in truly excellent overall condition, this rare Arena stands as a testament to Genta’s unmatched ability to fuse daring design with haute horlogerie complexity.
