Two years ago, I was interviewing a gentleman who had been a close, long-term colleague of Gerald Genta?s, and we got to talking about all the great watches Genta had designed. Out of almost nowhere my interviewee said to me: ?You are a big Rolex fan, I know; and do you know what Genta?s only regret was?? I shook my head and he responded: ?He never got the chance to design the DateJust. He thought it was the perfect watch, and would have loved to have had a chance to work on it.?

 

I nodded and agreed, wondering inside my head what a Genta-designed DateJust would look like, at which point he dropped the bombshell. ?He only ever designed one watch for Rolex,? he sayd. ?It was their first quartz watch, many years ago.?

 

Suddenly it all fell into place: the Oysterquartz was designed by Rolex, no doubt about it, but its design was heavily influenced by the design of the Texan, which we now know was designed by Genta. The Texan was launched in March 1970, meaning it was designed in late 1969; the Royal Oak came just two years later.

 

So, was the design of the Royal Oak influenced by the Rolex Texan? We can?t say it with absolute certainty, but the fact that they both came from the mind of the most creative watch designer of the 20th century, and given the closeness in timing, it would be extraordinary if it wasn?t.
