Personal Note
It's not every day you get the chance to sell a Gerald Genta, speaking with collectors most have never even seen one in the metal, so this is a special opportunity for both us to sell and for you to acquire. This is a fantastic example and with its box and paperwork, it gets even more special. One from a true master in the watch world, I wouldn't hesitate on this if you are in the market for one, book an appointment and come see it for yourself.
