A bold expression of Gérald Genta’s visionary design language, the Gefica Safari of the 1990s stands as one of the most distinctive and pioneering creations of the celebrated watch designer. Conceived originally for big-game hunters and adventurers, the Safari blends sculptural presence, technical ingenuity, and unmistakable aesthetic daring—an unmistakable hallmark of Genta’s independent creativity.
Rendered in an evocative combination of bronze and stainless steel, the case integrates Genta’s signature beaded bezel and textured surfaces, creating a tactile, tribal-inspired form that departs radically from conventional watchmaking of its era. Within this architectural frame, the electro-mechanical movement animates a complete calendar with moonphase, uniting mechanical tradition with forward-looking technology.
This example is preserved in exceptional, remarkably original condition, retaining its distinctive case patina, crisp engravings, and unaltered finishes. Accompanied by its original guarantee, jeweler’s presentation box, and the original strap and buckle fitted with Genta’s integrated compass, it offers an impressively complete and historically compelling ensemble.
A testament to Gérald Genta’s boundary-pushing philosophy, the Gefica Safari embodies the fusion of art, invention, and adventure that made him one of the most influential designers in watchmaking history—an icon for collectors drawn to the unconventional and the exceptional.
