Bvlgari Watches for Sale at Auction

Sakshi Batavia | 27 Dec, 2022

Luxury watch enthusiasts and collectors, take note: a rare opportunity has emerged to own some of Bvlgari’s most iconic timepieces as they head to auction. Renowned for their impeccable craftsmanship, bold design, and high-fashion Italian flair, Bvlgari watches have long represented the perfect fusion of jewelry artistry and Swiss watchmaking.

Bvlgari Watches Information

Bvlgari (stylized as BVLGARI, using the classical Latin alphabet) is a prestigious Italian luxury brand celebrated for its exceptional watchmaking, which seamlessly blends Roman heritage with Swiss precision. As a member of the LVMH Group, one of the world's leading luxury conglomerates, Bvlgari has solidified its reputation in both the jewelry and horology worlds.

Founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari, the brand initially gained recognition for its exquisite jewelry. Bvlgari's foray into watchmaking began in the early 20th century, with its first jewelry watch introduced in 1918. Though initially focused on ornamental pieces, Bvlgari progressively developed a strong presence in haute horology, particularly from the mid-20th century onward. A defining moment in its watchmaking legacy came in the early 1960s, when Elizabeth Taylor was famously photographed wearing a Serpenti watch on the set of Cleopatra, cementing Bvlgari’s association with glamour and celebrity culture.

Bvlgari timepieces are renowned for their distinctive fusion of Italian design aesthetics and Swiss watchmaking expertise. Crafted from premium materials such as gold, titanium, and precious gemstones, these watches are known for their elegance, durability, and attention to detail. Many models are also engineered to be water- and shock-resistant, offering practicality without compromising luxury.

Among the brand’s most iconic collections are the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo, known for its record-breaking ultra-thin movements; the Serpenti, celebrated for its bold, serpent-inspired design; and the Diagono, a collection that balances sportiness with sophistication. These collections offer a diverse range of styles, from timeless classics to modern interpretations, appealing to a wide spectrum of luxury watch enthusiasts.

This upcoming auction presents a distinguished selection of original Bvlgari timepieces for both men and women, available for sale in India. The curated collection spans from haute horlogerie masterpieces to exquisite high jewelry wristwatches, showcasing the brand’s exceptional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Here are some of the exceptional Bvlgari timepieces up for bidding:
