The Piece

Bvlgari was founded in Rome in 1884, and its Serpenti watches, first made in the late 1940s, wind around the wrist like the snake they are named for.

The Tubogas bracelet coils twice around the wrist in alternating bands of steel and pink gold, and it flows into a teardrop case with a bezel of pink gold set with a row of small diamonds. The silver dial is brushed in a sunburst, with Roman numerals and pink gold hands, and the crown is a pink cabochon. The case back is stamped Acier, Bvlgari, Fabrique en Suisse and SP 35 SPG.

The case is 23 mm (0.91 in) wide and 35 mm (1.38 in) long, and the bracelet fits a wrist up to about 15 cm (5.9 in). The movement is quartz, and the Bvlgari box is included.
