Designer
Gérald Genta
Gérald Genta (1931–2011) trained as a goldsmith in Geneva and became the most influential watch designer of the 20th century. Working freelance, he sketched the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak overnight in 1970, followed by the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the IWC Ingenieur SL and the Bulgari Bulgari — defining the integrated-bracelet luxury sports watch as a category.
Historical significance
Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto 36 mm Mother-of-pearl 18k sits within Laurent Ferrier's Sport Auto line, introduced in 2010. It carries the house codes established since 2010 — 18k yellow gold case, mother-of-pearl dial and manual-winding, hand-finished — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.
- The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.

Brand history
Laurent Ferrier has spent more than 16 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Classic Origin, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Laurent Ferrier established Laurent Ferrier in 2010, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Laurent Ferrier calibre produced today.
