Rolex in the 1960’s approached a young watch maker called Gerald Genta to design and launch a range of very high end gold watches. The collection featured minimalist designs with unusual integral bracelets and interesting shapes. The ‘Midas’ collection was inspired by Greek mythology’s King Midas because of his ability to turn everything he touched into gold.

The edges and beastly profile of this unique design by Gerald Genta is superb with each one numbered to give you a ticket in the club. However the most amazing thing about this cuff style Midas is the polishing with the grainy yet brushed style magically playing with the natural light and bouncing off each tire tread link. Each scratch on the polish just adds perfectly to the charm and look of watch.
