The Gerald Genta Gefica chronograph is an iconic timepiece that represents the pioneering design of Gerald Genta, one of the most influential watch designers of the 20th century. Genta is renowned for creating legendary models like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus.
The Gefica was introduced in the 1980s and was groundbreaking for its use of bronze—a material rarely seen in watchmaking at the time. It was originally designed for safaris, blending form and function in a highly distinctive manner.
The GEFICA name was introduced in 1984 when Gerald Genta was commissioned by three hunters to create a watch specifically designed for safaris. Bronze was chosen as the primary material as with its sandblasted finish it prevents any reflective glare. The name "GEFICA" is derived from the initials of the hunters who inspired it: Geoffroy, Fissore, and Canali.
This Gerald Genta Gefica chronograph in bronze and steel, reference G.2989.7, is original and in excellent aesthetic and mechanical condition, complete with its original box and guarantee card.
