The story of this Bulgari watch
Founded in Rome in 1884, Bulgari embodies a unique vision combining jewellery artistry with Swiss haute horlogerie. From the 1960s and 1970s onwards, the Italian brand asserted its boldness with highly innovative watch designs. In 1977, designer Gérald Genta conceived a piece whose bezel bore the engraved double logo. The Bulgari Bulgari collection instantly became an icon, alongside other legendary creations such as the Serpenti line and the Diagono models. This Bulgari watch, reference BB 23 GSD, fully reflects this rich heritage. Designed to transcend eras, it stands apart from the Tubogas lines or Solotempo editions through its absolute classicism. Owning this collector’s watch means choosing an essential piece among all our Bulgari watches carefully selected by our expert.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this model
The 23 mm round case is entirely crafted in solid yellow gold. The contrast between this precious material and the black lacquered dial is striking, enhanced by gilt hands and a discreet date window positioned at three o’clock. Powering these indications is a Swiss-made quartz movement, calibre ETA 956.112, featuring seven jewels and ensuring rigorous precision. The aesthetic continuity is completed by an integrated bracelet with satin-finished flat links, entirely fashioned in gold and designed to fit wrists up to 17 cm. It is secured by a perfectly reliable folding clasp. This level of technical and visual execution confirms the position of this creation among the most accomplished luxury watches on the market.
