Bvlgari

Donated by Bvlgari

Merging two of the most iconic symbols of Bvlgari design, the Serpenti Tubogas watch coils the sinuosity of the snake with the contemporary soul of tubogas. Evoking both the sensual curves of a woman and the fluid shape of the serpent, the timepiece is crafted with the shapely lines of this specific technique, with a flexible and tubular litheness. With precious color contrasts of gold, radiating glamour, and a truly individual style, this watch offers a contemporary take on the tricolor creations introduced in the 1960s, marking a distinctive chapter in the constant evolution of Serpenti. The Serpenti Tubogas watch features quartz movement,a 35 mm 18 kt rose gold curved case set with round brilliant cut diamonds, 18 kt rose gold crown set with a pink cabochon-cut rubellite, black opaline dial with guilloché soleil treatment, and a double spiral 18 kt rose, yellow and white gold bracelet.
