From Bulgari’s all-new Aeterna high jewelry collection, the mysteriously beautiful Fenice high jewelry watch celebrates the mythical phoenix, a symbol of immortality, renewal and power. Designed by Bulgari Watch Division creative director Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, the watch required more than 3,000 hours of meticulous craftsmanship and gem-setting. It consists of more than 160 carats of gemstones ranging from pink, blue and purple sapphires to rubies, pink garnets, amethysts, tanzanites, aquamarines, iolites and diamonds. The stunning cuff bracelet has a ‘secret’ watch dial — hidden beneath a rare 9.78-carat Paraiba tourmaline that moves aside to reveal the time. The phoenix is surrounded by spikes, which were inspired by Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s altarpiece in the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome (Bulgari’s birth city). It is a one-of-a-kind piece.

Each Bulgari creation comes hand-wrapped in a signature box, an outward expression of the care and detail that goes into its production process. Blending Swiss mechanical mastery with Italian design, Bulgari curates charismatic watches of technical splendor and seductive design. Its serpentine watches are an example of this sentiment. Spiraled in a mixture of stainless steel and 18-carat rose gold, the Serpenti Tubogas is sensual and fluid, affording agility coupled with contemporary glamor.This is just one of Bulgari's many epochal creations, however. Unveiled in 2022, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra set a world record by measuring only 1.8mm thick. With only 10 pieces of this slender timepiece made, watch collectors are desperate to get a hold of Bulgari's latest beauty. Encompassing eight different patents and a unique QR code on the barrel's ratchet wheel, the watches were sold alongside exclusive NFT artwork.
