Gerald Charles Genta (1931-2011) is considered the most important watch designer in the world. Among his most famous creations are Polerouter for Universal Genève in 1954, Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet in 1972, and Nautilus for Patek Philippe in 1976.
In 1969, Genta established his first brand: Gerald Genta. The brand was ceded in the late 90s and integrated into Bulgari's portfolio, which used it to consolidate its range of watchmaking products. In the early 2000s, Genta, at the top of his success, created the most modern and audacious of his brands: Gerald Charles.
The watch can be purchased through the company's website, and 30% of the value obtained from its sales until September 2020 will be donated to the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO (World Health Organization), organized by the Swiss Philanthropy Foundation and the United Nations.
