GOOD TO KNOW
• Piece Unique
• Semi-skeletonized minute repeating grande and petite Sonnerie with tourbillon
• Featuring Westminster chimes – one of the most mechanically complex complications
• Complete set
Gérald Genta is one of the most influential figures in horological history. Having left an inedible mark in watchmaking, he is best known for designing iconic models such as the Patek Philippe Nautilus, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, and IWC Ingenieur. His designs are flagship models of each manufacture and some even argue that his creations have themselves become a brand in itself. In 1994, Genta embarked on a journey to create his most complicated wristwatches to date.
A historically significant model in the world of horology, this timepiece was one of the most complicated wristwatches in the world when launched. In fact, one can argue that Genta was the first watchmaker to spearhead the trend of creating ultra complicated wristwatches. Previously, only pocket watches housed a multitude of complications. Perfectly encapsulating Gérald Genta's design aesthetic, the present watch not only features a grande and petite sonnerie with Westminster chimes, but also has a tourbillon mechanism. Reference GS1.X.20 is a later generation of the reference G.0027.7, which Phillips sold “Number One” in November 2021. Using the upgraded caliber GG31001, it is a manually wound movement with a reverse hand-fitting system with the striking mechanism placed on the back and the tourbillion, hammers, and gongs on the exposed dial side.
The present unique piece is a wonderful example of Gerald Genta’s extraordinary talent and master craftsmanship. This extraordinarily impressive watch represents a historic moment in the history of horology and deserves a prominent place in any collection.
