Description

By the 1990s, Bulgari had fully established the Tubogas bracelet as one of its most recognizable design elements, celebrated for its coiling structure and ability to function without visible soldering. The introduction of tricolor gold added a new dimension to this design, allowing light and tone to shift across the bracelet as it moves, enhancing its visual depth and versatility.

The use of a black dial reinforces the watch’s modern, graphic character, emphasizing contrast and clarity while allowing the bracelet’s craftsmanship to take center stage. This restrained approach to the dial highlights Bulgari’s ability to balance bold material choices with refined simplicity.

Less frequently encountered than monochromatic versions, tricolor Tubogas models offer a distinct perspective within Bulgari’s design universe. Preserved in excellent condition, this Ref. BB 232T stands as a refined and versatile piece- where jewelry craftsmanship, material contrast, and iconic design come together seamlessly.
