[ via Gérald Genta ]

The Gérald Genta Arena QP GMT features a (45 mm x 13.9 mm) titanium case topped with a platinum bezel. The contrast of the brilliant platinum and matte titanium looks really good in person. At first glance, this watch looks a lot like a chronograph, but there are actually four subdials that display the GMT and perpetual calendar functions. These subdials are part of the sophisticated multi-layered dial, that consists of black and silver brass and a perforated red base. If you take a closer look at the perforations in the dial, you will see parts of the exclusive Gérald Genta Potter finished movement. On the back, the Automatic Caliber GG7044 movement and solid gold rotor are visible through the sapphire caseback.

There are two versions available (titanium/platinum) $71,600 and (white gold/platinum) $92,050, a red alligator skin band with folding clasp comes with both versions.

The Gerald Genta Arena QP GT has a titanium case with a platinum bezel. I really like the red and black contrasting color scheme and the use of four subdials. The subdials display the perpetual calendar and GMT functions. I do not have pricing info, but platinum currently costs over $2000 per ounce, so expect to pay a premium.

Here is a Gerald Genta Tantalum case wristwatch. Tantulum is very interesting because it is hypoallergenic, almost as heavy as gold (yet much harder) and is as resistant as glass against corrosion and acids. Tantalum is a very dark metal that gets purplish color over time and feels warm to the touch, contrary to steel that feels cold.
