- Gérald Genta has become a household name as one of the most important horologers in recent times. Notably known for being the designer of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus, Genta was also known for creating some of the most fascinating timepieces under his own brand name.

- Since the 1980s, the brand earned rights to produce timepieces to celebrate Walt Disney and the whimsical characters from Mickey Mouse. Since then, the firm has produced a diverse series of timepieces featuring the renowned Mickey Mouse and peers.

- The present example Gérald Genta Retro “Mickey Mouse” housed in an incredibly quaint 28mm diameter stainless steel case, featuring the firm’s signature jumping hours and retrograde minutes indicated via articulated hands of the cartoon character.
