Think Bulgari, think Serpenti, but that’s just the tip of the terrific fashion iceberg. The maison goes beyond the sinuous snake with a very diverse High Jewelry and High-Jewelry Watches collection, Polychroma. A burst of colors, done the Bulgari way, puts rainbows to shame, especially the five extraordinary, milestone High-Jewelry watch masterpieces.
We have a clear favorite: the Notte Stellata Diva watch, which focuses on a dark yet romantic and hopeful Roman night illuminated by the most endearing fireflies. As children, we tried to bottle that magic, trapping fireflies in jars, hoping to make their glow last. This exceptional 38mm yellow gold watch perfectly captures and seals that moment with unmatched delicacy.
The dial, covered with a dome referring to Bulgari’s iconic cabochon cut, reveals a moon set with princess-cut diamonds and a pavé snow setting, employing the most perfect round brilliant and baguette-cut blue sapphires on the case and bezel. The most enchanting element, perched on the dial, moving fireflies set on tremblers, comes alive through the allure of yellow diamonds and blue sapphires.
The intricacy of the dial doesn’t diminish when it comes to the comfortable bracelet, which features dégradé blue sapphires in perfect symmetry and repetition, interrupted only once, by a tiny visitor, a yellow diamond and blue sapphire firefly. A starry night never looked so celestial on a wrist, especially with such brilliant technicality in the background of it all. Set with 8.33 carats of white diamonds, 2.04 carats of yellow diamonds, and 7.60 carats of blue sapphires, Notte Stellata Diva watch houses the Piccolissimo manufacture manual-winding mechanical micro movement, just 2.5mm thin, with a 30-hour power reserve and a frequency of 21,600 Vph (3Hz).
This breathtaking timepiece belongs to an exceptional selection of 600 masterpieces in the Polychroma collection, which also boasts a whopping 60 millionaire products, the highest number of millionaire creations ever presented.
