The story of this Bulgari Serpenti Tubogas
Founded in Rome by a Greek goldsmith, the Bulgari maison, often written Bvlgari, has established itself in high jewellery, fine jewellery and watchmaking with luxury watches showcasing a distinctive Italian design. Created in the 1940s and reinvented in the 1970s, the early 1980s and again in 1990, the Serpenti collection by Bulgari turns the Serpenti watch into a timeless symbol. This Serpenti Tubogas ref 101924 is one of the most emblematic Bulgari Serpenti watches in the official catalogue, at the heart of a collection of watches that enthusiasts enjoy discovering through its various models.
Case, calibre and bracelet
The 35 mm Serpenti case in 18K yellow gold features a sculptural serpent motif, enhanced by a diamond-set bezel and an opaline dial finished with the refinement of a watchmaker expert in precious stones, for sophisticated craftsmanship. The quartz calibre B033 offers reliable daily accuracy, just like the mechanical movements found in other Bulgari watches. The Tubogas bracelet hugs the wrist to the nearest centimetre and recalls the range of Bulgari Serpenti watches and Serpenti jewellery by Bulgari, also offered in rose gold, silver, on leather straps or with a mother-of-pearl dial.
Why this watch
