  3. Magnifica Ruby Metamorphosis

Every year Bulgari's master artisans create a small collection of superb, one-of-a-kind high-jewelry watches. The Roman jeweler is known for scouring the Earth to find the finest gemstones for its masterpieces, and this Magnifica watch is representative of the brand's meticulous and highly artistic work. For this secret watch (whose top flips open to reveal the watch dial beneath), Bulgari turns to the finest diamonds and rubies - topping the cover piece with a stunning antique cushion-cut Mozambique ruby that weighs 6.3 carats alone. The entire platinum watch case, dial and bracelet (which takes more than 1,600 hours to set) feature 48 baguette-cut rubies, 146 baguette-cut diamonds, three brilliant-cut diamonds and a pavé-set diamond dial. The watch in its entirety weighs just over 40 carats. It is powered by a quartz movement.

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.
