Gérald Genta The Flying Duck Clock

Quartz movement, mother-of-pearl textured dial with three subsidiary dials for day, date, leap year cycle, sector for phases of the moon, central orange alarm indicator hand, textured gold case with diamond set bezel, the case set within a natural formation of rock crystal, the main scene dominated and depicting a realistically sculptured gold flying duck, embellished with diamonds to its head, neck and tail, the body with finely enameled plumage, accented with rubies to its neck and tail, gold, diamond and agate rushes behind, all set on a gold and onyx base, with shaped feet, case, dial and movement signed

Overall the clock is in good condition and all intact. The gold is tarnished in many places but this can be cleaned, natural rock crystal is a little dirty and would look great once cleaned a little, movement is running. Once a little care has been taken to give it an overhaul it will be a very presentable and visually pleasing clock. Recommend.
