An icon of Bulgari's creative vision, this elegant Tubogas wristwatch showcases one of the Maison's most distinctive signatures. Inspired by the flexible industrial gas pipes of the early 20th century, the Tubogas technique was first adapted by Bulgari in the late 1940s and quickly became a symbol of modernity and technical mastery. Crafted without soldering, the supple bracelet is formed from meticulously interlocking bands of yellow and white gold, creating a fluid and comfortable design. Combining innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless sophistication, this Tubogas watch perfectly embodies Bulgari's bold approach to jewellery and watchmaking.
