Catalogue Essay
- Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo has quickly established itself as a significant contender in the luxury sports watch market. Launched in 2014, the Octo Finissimo collection made waves in the watch community with its inaugural release—the ultra-thin tourbillon. Since then, its sleek lines, powerful presence, and ultra-slim case have become instantly recognizable, earning it a dedicated following among collectors.

- The present time-only Octo Finissimo features the Bulgari caliber BVL 138, one of the world’s slimmest automatic movements, measuring just 2.23mm in thickness while boasting an impressive 60-hour power reserve. The case itself is remarkably thin at only 5.15mm.

- Housed in an extremely lightweight sandblasted titanium case, this Octo Finissimo is a rare limited edition of just 30 pieces made specifically for the Japanese market at the request of a VIP client. It showcases a striking midnight blue dial with applied indexes and Roman 12 and 6, a feature rarely seen in other models.

- Offered in like-new condition with no signs of wear, this exceptional timepiece comes complete with its full set of accessories, making it a coveted addition for any collector.

Bulgari

Italian
Originally 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.
