Upon the request of a famous Wall Street financier with a good sense of humour, Gérald Genta designed this unique watch featuring Uncle Scrooge, a highly colorful character. Interestingly, this design is one of the very few from the Disney series displaying the time in the traditional way, not using the retrograde complication. As such, the present lot is a testimony of the early stage of the creation of what would become one of the most famous creations of Gérald Genta. The design of the case, the bezel and the lugs in particular, as well as the cabochon crown are also more traditional. These elements place this design at the genesis of the Disney series, further enhancing its importance and interest.
