Bulgari Serpenti
The Bulgari Serpenti in 18k yellow gold is an iconic fusion of jewelry and watchmaking, defined by its sculptural Tubogas construction. Measuring approximately 14 mm at the dial, the watch is seamlessly integrated into the flexible, coiling bracelet, wrapping elegantly around the wrist. The gold dial, minimal in its execution, enhances the warmth and continuity of the piece, while the manual-wind movement preserves its refined proportions. Both functional and ornamental, the Serpenti embodies a distinctive approach to timekeeping as adornment.
Excellent vintage condition with very minor wear
Introduced in the mid-20th century, the Serpenti became one of Bulgari’s most recognizable creations, inspired by the sinuous form of a serpent- a longstanding symbol of transformation and eternity. By the 1960s, the Tubogas technique had become central to the design, allowing the bracelet to coil naturally without soldering, resulting in both flexibility and structural integrity.
This example reflects that era’s mastery of form and material, where the watch is fully integrated into the bracelet rather than treated as a separate element. The monochromatic gold execution reinforces its identity as a piece of wearable sculpture, emphasizing line, movement, and craftsmanship over traditional dial complexity.
Preserved in excellent vintage condition and accompanied by its original box, this Serpenti stands as a timeless emblem of Bulgari’s design philosophy- where jewelry and horology merge into a single, unmistakable statement.
