- “He did not lead by force. He lead by crazy inspiration.”
Proud to be nicknamed the “Picasso of watchmaking”, Gérald Genta was inspired by everything around him and spent most of his time drawing new ideas. Driven by his passion, his genius marked the history of Audemars Piguet.
Evelyne Genta, his life and business partner, confided in Bill Prince and Sébastien Vivas, Audemars Piguet's Heritage and Museum Director, so we can learn more about the man behind the Royal Oak.

Love that Gérald was a passionate obsessive artist, not just a random designer that struck gold
What a wonderful interview with Mrs. Genta! Thank you so much, AP - and Mrs. Genta! The importance of Gerald Genta's influence on Swiss watchmaking and design history can not be overestimated. Clearly his personality, talent, hard work, family, and community were all part of his genius!
Gerald Genta is a master of design and an unforgettable influence on the watch industry. His work for Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and IWC Schaffhausen has helped solidify him as an important name in the world of luxury watches. His creations are known for their timeless design, high-quality craftsmanship, and distinct aesthetic. Every watch he has designed is a masterpiece and a true work of art. We are grateful for his memorable contributions to the industry and will forever cherish his work!
Amazing and beautiful lady, without her! Gerald, wouldn’t have gotten to where he finally gotten! She was the rock and his better half!
Legend ever. Greatness
The best watch company in the world! I am dying to go to visit the new AP museum. Such a beautiful video , Genta is a Legendary artist with impressive creative talent. The team at AP continues to impress me year after year, bravo!
Genta didn't start his career at the dawn of the quartz era, his career started decades earlier at the miniaturization of the automatic in the universal geneve polerotor.
AP was very fortunate that they got the RO design which could have easily gone to PP, VC or god forbid iwc or gp.
Imagine how the RO would have changed the fortunes of say VC.
I own a few Royal Oaks now but until I actually held one in my hand I did not really want one, it truly is a cut above, and the design is truly above the nautilus.
you know GG did a few designs for IWC? it's a shame they were not able to capitalize on them till this day, their evolutions of his designs are terrible. Although the new Inguiner is closer to his design than the models in the last 15 years
Octagonal watch very attractive
DEAR EVERYONE AT AUDEMARS PIGUET,
GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE AND THE BEST AND HAPPIEST 2022 OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE YOU. 🙏
SINCERELY PETER
Does AP ever actually respond?...lol.
Its nice to see some public gratitude for the man who saved AP. Today only his design keeps it relevant. The code 1159 is a disaster, it has no genius, its more a toilet seat than a porthole. Why not try to find another great designer? Ask Martino D'Esposito.
