High Horology, Set in Gold and Diamonds
A spectacular expression of Hublot’s fusion philosophy, this Big Bang Tourbillon combines an 18K pink-gold case, a bezel illuminated by baguette-cut diamonds, skeletonized mechanics, a manual-winding tourbillon chronograph and the architectural drama that defined Hublot’s most ambitious early high-complication creations.
Intro
Some Big Bang references were designed to make an entrance. This one was engineered to hold the gaze.
Reference 308.PX.130.RX.094 transforms the familiar 44mm Big Bang architecture into a piece of mechanical jewellery. The openworked dial reveals the movement beneath, while the flying visual rhythm of the tourbillon at six o’clock is framed by a remarkable baguette-diamond bezel and diamond-set pink-gold case.
Gold, black, diamonds and exposed mechanics converge into one of Hublot’s most extravagant interpretations of the Big Bang.
Description
The Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Ref. 308.PX.130.RX.094 sits at the intersection of complicated watchmaking and high jewellery, taking the muscular architecture of the Big Bang and elevating it through precious metal, diamond setting and an openworked mechanical display.
The 44mm case is crafted in 18K pink gold, providing a warm architectural frame around the black skeletonized dial. Across the case, 212 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.08 carats introduce a dense field of light, while the bezel is set with 48 baguette-cut diamonds totaling approximately 2.80 carats.
Rather than overwhelming the watch’s mechanics, the diamonds create a striking perimeter around them.
At six o’clock, the tourbillon becomes the visual anchor of the composition. The exposed mechanism creates continuous movement beneath the dial, while the power-reserve indication at nine o’clock adds another functional layer to the openworked architecture.
Powering the watch is the Hublot HUB6300, a manually wound tourbillon chronograph calibre. Its visible construction gives the watch depth from virtually every angle, transforming the movement itself into part of the aesthetic experience.
The chronograph architecture further distinguishes the reference from a conventional tourbillon dress watch. This is not an exercise in classical restraint. It belongs unmistakably to Hublot’s philosophy of fusion, where advanced mechanics, unconventional materials, precious metals and contemporary design are deliberately placed in tension with one another.
The black strap provides a dramatic counterpoint to the pink gold and diamond setting. Red stitching adds a subtle flash of colour while visually connecting the sporting character of the Big Bang with the extraordinary jewellery execution of the case.
Despite the amount of precious material involved, the composition remains unmistakably mechanical. Through the skeletonized dial, gears, bridges, wheels and the tourbillon remain visible rather than disappearing behind ornamentation.
The result is a rare kind of luxury watch: extravagant in material, technically ambitious in construction and immediately recognizable from across a room.
For collectors drawn to the more audacious side of modern Swiss horology, Ref. 308.PX.130.RX.094 represents an exceptional chapter in the evolution of the Big Bang.

Condition Report
Case
The 18K pink-gold case presents strongly with the substantial architecture characteristic of the 44mm Big Bang. Light surface marks and fine scratches are present consistent with previous careful wear.
The diamond-set surfaces remain visually impressive, with the pavé construction retaining an even and brilliant appearance.
Baguette Diamond Bezel
The baguette-cut diamond bezel remains the defining visual feature of the watch. The elongated stones create a continuous geometric halo around the skeletonized dial, beautifully contrasting with the warm pink-gold structure.
Dial & Hands
The black skeletonized display remains clear and highly dimensional. The open construction provides an unobstructed view into the mechanical architecture while the broad pink-gold-tone hands remain highly legible against the darker movement beneath.
Movement
The HUB6300 manual-winding tourbillon chronograph is visible through the openworked construction, with the tourbillon occupying the prominent six o’clock position.
Strap & Clasp
The black strap with contrasting red stitching complements the case well and maintains the sport-luxury character central to the Big Bang design language. The Hublot deployant clasp completes the configuration.
Accessories
Original Hublot presentation box included.
Overall Condition
Very Good Pre-Owned Condition
Light signs of previous use are present, consistent with the age and precious-metal construction of the watch. Please review the detailed photography as part of the overall condition assessment.
Why Collectors Want This Piece
The fascination of Ref. 308.PX.130.RX.094 lies in how many distinct expressions of Hublot converge within a single watch.
The Big Bang architecture provides the foundation. A manually wound tourbillon chronograph supplies the mechanical ambition. Skeletonization exposes the engineering. Pink gold introduces weight and warmth. Pavé diamonds transform the case, while nearly three carats of baguette diamonds create the dramatic perimeter around the dial.
Yet none of those ingredients exists independently.
Together they capture the philosophy that made Hublot distinctive: materials and mechanics that would traditionally belong to different categories are deliberately fused into a single object.
Its discontinued status further places the reference within a particular era of Hublot high watchmaking, making it especially appealing to collectors seeking the more elaborate and technically ambitious expressions of the early Big Bang generation.
Brand Heritage
Founded in Switzerland in 1980, Hublot built its identity around an idea that was radical at the time: combining traditional precious-metal watchmaking with modern materials such as rubber.
That philosophy eventually became known as the Art of Fusion.
The launch of the Big Bang in 2005 dramatically expanded the concept, combining layered case architecture, exposed hardware, unconventional materials and increasingly sophisticated mechanical movements.
High-complication references such as the Big Bang Tourbillon pushed that language further still, placing serious mechanical watchmaking inside one of contemporary horology’s most recognizable designs.
