Gerald Genta Octo Bi-Retro Jump Hour Retrograde Display Automatic Wristwatch with the world-famous Octagon ‘Octo’ case.  This watch has reference OBR.Y.1C.  As a designer, Mr. Gerald Genta achieved everlasting greatness by designing the Audemars Piguet’s greatest creation in the Royal Oak.  He was also the creator of Patek Philippe Nautilus, Bvlgari Bvlgari watches, and was even involved in creation of the Omega Constellation Double Eagle.  Bi-Retro display was a specialty of Gerald Genta’s original brand until it was bought by Bvlgari in year 2000.  Even until today Bvlgari reserves this special watch series dedicated to Mr. Genta’s original designs.  The Bi-Retro Jump Hour Retrograde display has long been one of the hallmark of Gerald Genta watches, having Jump Hour display for hours at 12 o’clock window and two fan-shaped retrograde displays for minutes and day of the month indicator.  Again, the whole design of both the Octagon case and retrograde display along with movement is all shared by Bvlgari OCTO watches.  The Bvlgari OCTO Bi-Retro watches all bear Gerald Genta name on the dial as well to remember this great designer.  This is the XL/Jumbo version of the Gerald Genta Octo Bi-Retro watch in 18K Rose Gold at 42.5mm diameter.  Inside the watch an in-house manufacture GG7722 movement by Bvlgari is used which is a refined caliber using Gerald Genta’s original patent for Bi-Retro display but built ground up by Bvlgari.  Essentially Gerald Genta Octo Bi-Retro was created entirely by Bvlgari in 2012 as a commemoration to its creator Mr. Genta and it was sold for a very short while only by Bvlgari so it’s extra special in meaning and rarity.  Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) $19,100.
