Created in the 1990s by the mastermind behind iconic watches such as the Royal Oak and Nautilus, the present lot Gerald Genta Success is a glamorous and dazzling timepiece crafted from 18k white gold with diamond and sapphire settings. No corners have been cut on the octagonal timepiece, and diamond and sapphire settings can be found on the dial, bezel, clasp, and even strap embellishments. Additionally, a larger pusher can be found on the left side of the watch which activates a minute repeater. On the rear, a transparent case back reveals a completely hand engraved movement and rotor, completing the brilliant and extravagant wristwatch.
