- During the 1980s, renowned watch designer Gérald Genta won the rights to produce timepieces celebrating Walt Disney and the whimsical cartoon characters from the acclaimed Mickey Mouse universe. Since then, Genta has created a line of watches featuring these iconic Disney characters, catering to the growing demand for fun and unusual timepieces. - The present Gérald Genta Retro Fantasy encased in a 36mm case is one of the largest variants from the brand's Retro Fantasy series. Notably, this particular example displays the rare depiction of Minnie Mouse, rather than the more common Mickey Mouse motif. Minnie's left hand serves as the retrograde minute hand, a distinctive design element synonymous with Gérald Genta's watches. - Offered without reserve, this Gérald Genta Retro Fantasy timepiece presents a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire a fun, quirky, and highly sought-after creation from the esteemed watchmaker.
