This collectible Swatch Gent Flex "MATRIOSKA" model GK204 is a standout Olympic special edition originally released in 1996 to commemorate Swatch serving as Official Timekeeper and Partner of the Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta.

The 34mm case houses a Swiss quartz movement and features a distinctive flexible metal band that provides comfort and style. The dial showcases multiple matryoshka dolls in varying sizes arranged in a circular pattern, making this watch a true work of wearable art. The set comes in its original Olympic special edition packaging clearly marked as "Official Timekeeper and Partner of the 1996 Olympic Games" with the Atlanta Centennial Olympic logo. The watch is in excellent, unworn condition and has been preserved in its original sealed packaging since 1996.
