The Gérald Genta brand was affiliated with Disney since 1984 and had designed several watches featuring beloved characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. This particular 1990s example depicts Donald Duck playing golf. His raised golf club serves as the minute hand, while at the 4 o’clock position a golf ball displays the jumping hour. The dial - half crafted from mother-of-pearl - is presented in a perfect colour scheme, with a sky blue and grass green background.
