BVLGARI Serpenti 103558 Misteriosi High Jewellery Secret Watch Rose Gold Diamond Turquoise Rubellite Tourmaline (2025)

The Bulgari Serpenti Misteriosi High Jewellery Secret Watch Ref. 103558 in 18k rose gold is a magnificent fusion of gem-setting artistry and mechanical ingenuity. Measuring 40mm in diameter, this creation represents the pinnacle of Bulgari’s Serpenti legacy — a perfect embodiment of sensual curves, audacious design, and the maison’s unmistakable Roman glamour. The serpentine form, crafted in warm rose gold, coils gracefully around the wrist, revealing a hypnotic interplay of diamonds, turquoise, and rubellite tourmalines that highlight Bulgari’s unparalleled mastery in color harmony and craftsmanship.

The case and bracelet are adorned with 552 brilliant-cut round diamonds (F–G color, IF–VVS clarity) totaling approximately 14.35 carats, their brilliance enhanced by the contrast of 65 hand-fitted turquoise inserts weighing roughly 28.80 carats. Each turquoise piece, cut in a fancy insert shape, radiates vivid blue tones that accentuate the fluid geometry of the serpent’s scales. The creature’s eyes are formed from two pear-shaped purplish-pink rubellite tourmalines weighing about 0.55 carats in total, infusing the design with life and intensity. The dial continues this jewel-like spectacle with 116 additional pavé-set diamonds (F–G color, VVS–VS clarity, 8/8 cut) totaling approximately 0.28 carats, adding a final layer of brilliance to this remarkable timepiece.

At the heart of this high-jewelry creation lies Bulgari’s BVL 100 “Piccolissimo” hand-wound mechanical movement — one of the smallest calibers ever produced, designed and assembled entirely in-house. Concealed within the serpent’s head, it preserves the watch’s secret function: the time display remains hidden until revealed by opening the hinged head of the serpent. This fusion of technical precision and haute joaillerie makes the Serpenti Misteriosi Ref. 103558 a masterpiece of modern jewelry watchmaking. For collectors, it represents the ultimate expression of Bulgari’s dual identity — a celebration of color, craftsmanship, and movement that transforms timekeeping into art.
