Catalogue Essay
Ultra-slim, contemporary and extreme slenderness comfort, the Octo Finissimo is the one the ticks all the boxes for those seeking for the ultimate luxury sportswatch today. A case shape that have become instantly recognizable and a favorite among collectors since its debut in 2017. The Octo Finissimo is equipped with the Bulgari caliber BVL 138 as one of the world's slimmest automatic movements, measuring only 2.23mm thick and boasting a 60-hour power reserve - the casing is remarkably only 5.15 millimeters thick. Although the Octo Finissimo is available in a number of metals (titanium, steel, ceramic, and pink gold), only a few dial variants have been made, making the current titanium specimen with dark green Eastern Arabic numerals a very uncommon and highly sought after piece. Made only available for retailers in the Middle East market and preserved in its pristine, unworn condition, this is a superb opportunity for modern icon collectors to acquire something of limited production and accessible exclusively in Bulgari stores in the Middle East.
Bulgari
ItalianOriginally from Kalarites, Greece, Sotirios Voulgaris emigrated to Rome because of Greece's rising poverty and difficulty separating from the Ottoman Empire. He set foot on Italian soil in 1880 with little money in his pocket and spent the next four years preparing what would go on to become Italy's oldest jewelry company. In 1884, Bulgari opened its doors to the Italian people with its offering of jewelry and accessories. Bulgari's style takes from traditions in Greek and Roman craftsmanship to elegantly balance volume and subtlety. Later, in the late 1960s, Bulgari bridged classicism and modernity by introducing its seductive, now-iconic Serpenti collection of snake-shaped coil bracelets and watches. It is through its meticulous combination of influences that Bulgari has garnered an international and loyal high-profile clientele, which included Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn. These Hollywood stars have immortalized the house's unique gem-adorned bracelets, necklaces and earrings in rounded forms.
