The Maestro 8.0 Squelette in Rose Gold features the iconic Maestro case and signature vulcanised rubber strap, both from Gérald Genta’s original drawings. Gerald Charles introduces the rubber strap in a Stoned Grey colour, perfectly matching the 18K Rose Gold 4N Maestro case. The sandblasted bridges are polished with anglage and anthracite-NAC finishes. Its galvanic treatment prevents the movement from oxidising and rusting. The bespoke calibre GCA 5482 is powered by a decentred micro-rotor in 22K Rose Gold 4N with a double-face finishing featuring colimaçon on one side, and a “honeycomb” motif on the other. This new oscillating weight design is enclosed in a star-shaped space whose rays spread across the bridges. Thanks to the insertion of the micro-rotor, the movement thickness has been reduced to just 2.6mm, making it the thinnest timepiece in their collection, with an overall thickness of 8.35mm. It offers a 50-hour power reserve thanks to the single barrel, visible between 1 and 2 o’clock, and has a 5G shock-resistance measured on 5 different axis thanks to the robotic arm test.
