Gerald Genta Safari Gefica YG ref. G2989 7

1990 | Yellow gold | Automatic | 36.0mm

Sale price€8.500,00

Few watches carry a backstory quite like the Gefica. Born in 1984 from a commission by three hunters — Geoffroy, Fissore and Canali — it was designed from the ground up for the African bush: a watch that wouldn't glint in the light, built to survive, and unmistakable in character. The Safari variant in 18k yellow gold takes that same ethos and turns the dial up, quite literally, to something extraordinary.

The 36mm yellow gold case houses the automatic Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement, offering hours, minutes, running seconds, a full chronograph function, and a day-date display — everything a hunter, or a collector, could need at a glance. But the real talking point here is the dial: a genuine burlwood panel, rich in grain and depth, that makes every single example unique. No two are ever alike.

This example presents in excellent condition, on its original leather strap with the signed 18k gold deployant buckle. No box or papers — but for a piece this rare and characterful, they're beside the point.

Gerald Genta

Gerald Genta was founded in 1969 by the iconic Swiss watch designer of the same name, known for creating legendary models like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus. With his own brand, Genta pushed the boundaries of traditional watchmaking, focusing on bold case designs and advanced complications like minute repeaters, tourbillons, and retrograde displays.

His watches were both technically impressive and artistically daring — including playful models like the “Fantasy” series with Disney characters and jumping hour displays. Genta’s unique mix of creativity and haute horlogerie earned him a prestigious clientele, including royalty.

The brand was acquired by Bulgari in 2000, and its legacy continues to inspire modern watch design, especially in the evolution of the Bulgari Octo line.
