Bvlgari has announced new releases for its high-end collection, Polychroma. The name Polychroma, derived from the Greek words "poly" meaning "many" and "chromia" meaning "color," pays homage to the Eternal City of Rome and artistically expresses color, diversity, polymorphism, and versatility through exceptional gemstones and bold designs. Polychroma features approximately 250 new high jewelry pieces and high jewelry watches, including 60 millionaire pieces, the highest number ever.
High Jewelry Watches
Polychroma high jewelry watches are works of art that combine the finest Swiss timepiece craftsmanship with the expressive power of a Roman high jeweler to further enhance the brilliance of rare gemstones. These creations, combining new levels of complexity and aesthetic sophistication, are made possible by the tiny Piccolissimo movement. This hand-wound movement, measuring just 12mm in diameter, pushes the boundaries of watchmaking, and the archive-inspired design of these high jewelry watches forges a strong connection to Bvlgari's heritage.
"Nuvole Preziose" (Elegant Clouds)
Inspired by the beauty of Rome in all its forms, the Nuvole Preziose pendant watch features an octagonal shape reminiscent of the ceiling of the Basilica of Maxentius. The pendant watch, which took approximately 1560 hours to complete, features a 6.88-carat certified cushion-cut yellow sapphire at the center of the dial and a butterfly inspired by a vintage Bulgari brooch at the end of the tremblant.

"Notte Stellata Diva" (Starry Sky Diva)
The dial of the Notte Stellata Diva depicts the dark Roman night illuminated by the light of fireflies. The dial, which has a domed lid reminiscent of Bulgari's iconic cabochon cut, is adorned with a moon set with princess-cut diamonds and a pave snow setting, and two fireflies made of yellow diamonds and blue sapphires swaying subtly. The bracelet is set with a gradient blue sapphire on which a firefly rests.
