The Piece

Bvlgari was founded in Rome in 1884, and the house has long set coloured gemstones beside diamonds with a jeweller's freedom.

Here an outer ring and an inner ring of round diamonds circle a small white mother-of-pearl dial, and between the rings sit pear, heart and cabochon stones in green, violet, orange, pink, blue and yellow. The case is 18K pink gold, and the black satin strap closes with a pink gold folding clasp, ringed with the Bvlgari name.

The case is 35 mm (1.38 in) tall and 36 mm (1.42 in) wide, excluding the crown, and 6 mm (0.24 in) thick. The strap has six holes, 6 mm apart, for a wrist of 13.5 to 16.5 cm (5.3 to 6.5 in). With strap and buckle the watch weighs about 52.4 g (1.85 oz). A guarantee card dated April 2013 is included, without a box.
