At a glance this Gerald Genta Skeleton Reference G2099 it feels like a piece of wearable sculpture, not just another wristwatch. The 35mm 18k white gold case carries Gentas unmistakable octagonal form, a shape he explored throughout his independent brands output and which would become one of his visual signatures in the late 20th century.
Rather than hiding its mechanics, this example lays them bare. The skeleton dial reveals a finely finished movement beneath, inviting you to watch the manual-wind caliber at work every time you glance down. The bridge architecture and gear train become part of the design, giving the watch a layered depth that a flat dial could never achieve. The hands float above this complex backdrop, shaped to be legible and yet elegantly slender, preserving the overall balance of the piece.
To appreciate this watch you need to understand its maker. Gerald Genta is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in modern watch design, responsible not only for his own brands creations but also for icons such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus earlier in his career. The octagonal form here speaks to that lineage, a geometry he returned to in various ways. It feels both architectural and bold without being aggressive.
This particular watch is offered in Excellent Overall Condition with no notable signs of wear, a rare survivor of its era that retains both presence and poise on the wrist. The watch is fitted with a black strap and its original buckle. It reads as a thoughtful blend of technical curiosity and classical proportion, for someone who appreciates design history as much as horological quality.
