Some watches follow traditional watchmaking codes. Others rewrite them entirely. The Gerald Genta Bi-Retro clearly belongs to the second category.

Gerald Genta remains one of the most influential designers in the history of watchmaking. His creations include two of the most iconic watches ever produced: the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus.

Yet his own brand allowed him to explore ideas that were far more unconventional, where technical creativity and bold design took center stage.

Time Displayed Differently

The Bi-Retro perfectly reflects that philosophy.

Rather than traditional rotating hands, the Bi-Retro uses a jumping hour paired with a retrograde minute display. The minute hand sweeps across an arc before instantly snapping back to zero every hour, while a second retrograde scale tracks the date in the same dynamic way.

This system transforms the reading of time into a mechanical performance, something that became a signature of Gerald Genta creations.

A Dial Full of Depth

Reference G3734 stands out thanks to its striking Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial enhanced with guilloché decoration. Under changing light, the surface shifts between deep grey, green, and iridescent blue tones, creating a constantly evolving appearance.

The dial is framed by a 36mm yellow gold case whose warm tone contrasts beautifully with the cooler shades of the mother-of-pearl.

The result is both elegant and visually captivating.

A Distinctive Collector’s Piece

Inside beats an automatic movement powering the jumping hour, retrograde minute, and retrograde date complications. On this example, the movement remains original and serviced, with all functions operating correctly.

Presented in very good condition and accompanied by its original buckle, this Bi-Retro perfectly captures Gerald Genta’s spirit: inventive, bold, and unmistakably different.
