Though this diverse luxury goods brand creates jewelry, accessories, fragrances, and cosmetics, Bvlgari also produces fantastic timepieces. They develop their own calibers and parts, including highly complicated mechanisms as well as basic calibers. Sotirios Voulgaris, a Greek silversmith, founded Bvlgari in Rome in 1884; today manufacturing takes place in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. 

Simply everything about this timepiece is thrilling. In this masterpiece of visionary watch design, let's begin with the overall shape. 

Note how the polished flexible "Tubogas-style" stainless steel bracelet is crafted to comfortably coil around your wrist in a singular spiral shape. Next, and this is where the Serpenti name comes in, witness how the stainless steel case evokes the head of a snake.

With the luxurious bezel encrusted with 38 glittering diamonds, this watch is sure to serve as a conversation piece. To add a dash of subtle color to an otherwise staid affair, the stainless steel push / pull winding crown is set with a pink rubelite cabochon. 

The silver opaline dial showcases a guilloche soleil treatment that offers an enticing radiating pattern that moves the eye simultaneously inward and outward. Hand-applied polished indexes with Roman numerals at 12 and 6 deliver a classic touch to a thoroughly contemporary timepiece of distinction.

Additional features include a solid caseback, a 30 m / 3 atm water resistance, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

From its fascinating snake-like design to its luxurious diamond-emblazoned offerings, we believe this Bvlgari Serpenti Tubogas will make an utterly unique addition to your collection.

Standout feature(s): "Tubogas-style" stainless steel bracelet in spiral form; snake head-shaped case; 38 glittering diamonds and pink rubelite cabochon; guilloche soleil-patterned dial.
