Gerald Genta Retro Sport | Jumping Hour & Retrograde Minutes | Vintage
- Description

- Info
The hour digit snaps over at the top of every sixty minutes and the minute hand sweeps back to start — that is the Retro Sport's signature, and the architecture of the curved dial belongs to no other watchmaker. Reference RSP.X.10.121.CA.BA.RUB is original-era Geneva production, drawn before the Bulgari acquisition of 2000 returned the maison to corporate ownership. Gérald Genta (1931–2011) had already drawn the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (1972), the Patek Philippe Nautilus (1976), the IWC Ingenieur SL and the Bvlgari Bvlgari by the time he founded his own atelier in 1969 — the Retro line is where his independent thinking is at its most uncompromised, the jumping-hour-and-retrograde module proprietary, the case execution refusing every visual debt to the maisons that paid him. This vintage example has been authenticated against archive reference material at Stephansplatz.
