"Milanese Monete"
Manual winding (Cal. BVP100). 21,600 vph. Power reserve approximately 30 hours. 18KPG case. Price upon request.
This model is a modern reconstruction of the "Monete" model released by Bulgari in the 1960s. Opening the cover, which features a coin depicting Emperor Caracalla minted between 198 and 297 AD, reveals a mother-of-pearl dial. Diamond indexes and pink gold-plated hour and minute hands are combined. Brilliant-cut diamonds are set around the coin and on the crown, adding a touch of dazzling dazzle to the wrist.
In addition to the elegant case design, the 18K pink gold Milanese mesh bracelet is also a noteworthy element. Milanese mesh, made by weaving gold threads, was developed by Milanese goldsmiths during the Renaissance. Its smooth texture gives this watch a supple fit and delicate design.
The movement is the hand-wound Cal. BVP100, named "Picolissimo," a tiny movement for women with a diameter of 13.5 mm and a thickness of 2.5 mm.
"Tubogas Manchette"
Automatic movement (Cal. BVS100). 28 jewels. 21,600 vph. Power reserve approximately 50 hours. 18K yellow gold case. Price upon request.
This high jewelry watch is based on an archive model released by Bvlgari in 1974. It features an 18K yellow gold case with an integrated bracelet, and is finished with an elegant, spiraling design. Bvlgari's signature Tubogas design, which first appeared in the 1940s, combines the flexibility of a modular structure with the high aesthetic quality achieved by molding and polishing each individual part.
In addition to the radiating diamonds, large spessartites, citrine, rubellite, peridot, amethysts, and topazes are set, creating a dazzling brilliance. The round dial, which houses the hour and minute hands, is adorned with pavé diamonds.
The movement is the ladies' automatic mechanical movement, Cal. BVS100 "Lady Solotempo." The rotor is engraved with a snake scale motif, which can be seen through the caseback. Despite its small diameter, it has a power reserve of approximately 50 hours.
