Case & Bezel: The 18k white gold case and dark tantalum bezel show excellent definition with zero deep scratches, dings, or impact marks under close inspection.

What Makes the Arena Special:

Gérald Genta is widely recognized as the most influential watch designer in modern horological history, credited with shaping iconic legends such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus. When Genta launched his own independent brand, he utilized the platform to push mechanical and visual boundaries far beyond traditional hands. The Arena collection became his signature canvas, renowned for introducing digital jump hour displays, retrograde complications, and grand complications into bold, architectural cases.

The reference AQC.Y.66.915.CN.BD captures this creative spirit by framing haute horlogerie's most prized calendar complication—the perpetual calendar—within a distinctly modern aesthetic. Clear, intuitive subdials across the multi-tiered dial track the day, date, month, and four-year leap year cycle, automatically calculating varying month lengths and leap years without requiring manual intervention.

Framed by a dense, slate-gray tantalum bezel set against an 18k white gold Arena case with reeded flanks, this reference offers a remarkable contrast of high-tech metallurgy and classical watchmaking. For collectors looking for a truly distinctive piece of independent design heritage from the mind of horology's greatest master, this Arena Perpetual Calendar delivers incredible wrist presence and mechanical sophistication.
