Bulgari BB33GLSK-W - Skeletonized - 18K White Gold Case and Buckle
Founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari in Rome, Bulgari has evolved into one of the world’s most celebrated luxury Maisons, renowned for its bold creativity, exceptional craftsmanship, and distinctive Italian aesthetic. Blending classical heritage with contemporary design, the House has become synonymous with vibrant gemstones, architectural forms, and an unmistakable sense of glamour—establishing Bulgari as a true icon of jewelry and luxury.
Like other great jewelry Maisons, such as Cartier, Bulgari gradually expanded its expertise into the world of horology, with a particularly significant and ambitious development during the second half of the 20th century.
The Bulgari-Bulgari stands as one of the most significant creations in the history of the Maison’s watchmaking, marking the moment when Bulgari transcended the realm of traditional jewelry watches and established a distinctive horological identity of its own.
Introduced in the 1970s, the model drew inspiration from the ancient Roman coins that had long informed Bulgari’s artistic language and design philosophy. Its defining feature was the double Bulgari signature engraved around the bezel, a bold and unprecedented choice that transformed the Maison’s name into a powerful visual hallmark. Conceived as a unisex timepiece, the Bulgari-Bulgari embodied the House’s ability to unite classical Roman heritage with contemporary luxury, becoming an enduring symbol of Italian design and creative expression.
Among these remarkable unisex creations, the present example represents one of the most distinguished iterations of the collection. Crafted in 18K white gold, its perfectly balanced proportions allow it to transcend traditional gender boundaries, serving equally as a refined men’s dress watch and an elegant timepiece for the discerning lady. Representing the pinnacle of the collection, this exceptional example is distinguished by its remarkable skeletonized construction, revealing the intricate mechanics usually concealed beneath the dial. The result is a captivating timepiece in which the purity of the case design allows the beautifully engraved movement to take center stage, transforming technical mastery into an expression of refined artistry.
Well preserved showing signs of normal wear with well-defined hallmarks, this timepiece is offered with its original 18K white gold buckle.
