The Serpenti Misteriosi Romani – one of the most expensive high-end timepieces ever made by Bulgari – is inspired by classical Rome and is a nod to the gold bracelets worn by upper-class society
Honoured by the Jury of the prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) with the Jewellery Watch Prize in 2019, this truly spectacular one-of-a-kind creation comprises a massive number of precious stones.
The snake’s head is crowned with a 10-carat Sri Lankan sapphire and a total of more than 60 carats of diamonds, while 35 carats of sapphires form the serpent’s body and scales. As sensuous as its inspiration, the cuff bracelet features a snake sinuously coiled around it. The cuff is embellished with baguette-cut diamond scales, so that the wrist inhabits the design and becomes part of the snake itself.
