Bulgari Bulgari Catene

The New Precious Ladies Watch

Simplicity, tradition and elegance intertwine in this precious creation by Bulgari. Approximately 14og of pink gold links form a beautifully subtle extension of the 18k gold case which bears not just the double BVLGARI logo on its bezel, but also a mother of pearl dial featuring 12 brilliant cut 0.133 carat diamonds and a rubelite cabochon accenting the ridged crown.

This sophisticated timepiece is inspired by the historically classic gourmette. The gourmette, the French name for the vintage “name-plate bracelet,” has been reinterpreted by Bulgari and restored to its former familiarity. Known to grace the wrists of contemporary goddesses such as Elizabeth Taylor, Anna Magnani and Grace Kelly, the gourmette is enhanced with timeliness to become the BVLGARI BVLGARI Catene of today. Such an eternally sentimental symbol is now customized as a wrap-around bracelet watch, and a suppleness attributed directly to its sophisticated construction.

The apparent simplicity of the timepiece’s smooth elegance betrays its complex construction: the supreme savoir-faire of Bulgari goldsmithing creates a bracelet to twice encircle the wrist with a comfortably lithe embrace. As it oft does, Bulgari has taken inspiration from history, and the vintage nature of such a classically playful decoration: Bulgari reasserts itself once again as a House of inspired creativity.

BVLGARI BVLGARI Catene also comes in a semi- pavé version in which the various elements of 18k pink gold bracelet are alternately set with a total of 60 brilliant cut diamonds (2.50 cts). In both versions, the bracelet is secured by an 18k pink gold triple folding clasp. Read more about the new BVLGARI BVLGARI Catene
