Description

A radiant tribute to the creative ingenuity of gérald genta, the Gentissima Oursin Fire Opal shines through a fiery lens of natural beauty and craftsmanship. This next chapter in the Gentissima collection explores a connection between vibrant stones and daring shapes that evoke the unexpected. Its 36.5mm yellow gold case is crowned with 137 individually set fire opals, gems of volcanic origin long linked to artistry and energy. Their brilliant hues are echoed in the orange cornelian dial, where an intense texture reinforces the Fire Opal's identity as a living canvas of design mastery.

The watch houses the GG-005 caliber, a customized Zenith Elite automatic movement, and is completed with a redesigned 18k yellow gold oscillating mass. The faceted crystal and slightly octagonal inner bezel respect the Maison’s signature shape. Every element, from the glass-blasted case finish to the gleaming yellow gold details on the dial, has been designed with audacious elegance in mind to spark joy and curiosity.

Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
