Catalogue Essay
Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo has become a significant player in the luxury sports watch market in just a few short years. Launched only in 2017 (but based on Gerald Genta’s designs from the 1980s) the Octo Finissimo’s sleek taught lines, powerful appearance and ultra slim case have become immediately identifiable and a favourite amongst collectors.
The Octo Finissimo houses the Bulgari caliber BVL 138 which is one of the world’s slimmest automatic movements, only 2.23mm thick but with an impressive 60-hour power reserve. The case itself is a mere 5.15 mm thick.
Cased in its extremely light sandblasted titanium case, the present Octo Finissimo belongs to a rare example that was made as a limited edition of 30 pieces for the Japanese market, on request of a VIP client from Japan. Featuring a never seen before midnight blue dial with applied indexes for Roman 12 and 6, the present timepiece is further engraved No. 8 on the caseband, which is an exclusive feature for No. 0 to 10 (excluding No. 4).
Offered in brand new condition with no signs of use and wear, the present example is complete with its full set of accessories.

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.
