The iconic Octo

Is growing into a family with complications!
Very exciting for Bulgari.

I like the black lacquered dial and iconic Octo case.
Even the simplest Octo in steel and black lacquer will attract me. This Octo tourbillon, whether the thinnest or not, is simply fascinating and looks very handsome like the simple Octo.

Thanks for sharing Ping. I like the Octo line and am glad it's growing.

Cheers

They are marketing it as such I think. They are saying the movement is 1.95mm. Is that the thinnest?

The Bulgari IS the thinnest tourbillon.....

Hi, The AP your referring to is Calibre 2870 where the back of the case is part of the base plate.....that movement is 5mm thick. The point of that watch wasnt being thinnest....it was the size of the tourbillon cage being the smallest. The Bulgari Tourb....

Being a Patek wearer for some time, I am increasingly being disappointed by the bulky pieces Patek is producing these days. The new Pateks seem to be the same old movement, which is good for reliability, fitted into increasingly bulky and thick cases, whi...
