Lot Essay

One of the key pieces in Bulgari’s recent resurgence, alongside the record-breaking 50+ award winning Octo Finissimo, the Serpenti Tubogas represents the height of feminine elegance. Note the serpentine Tubogas bracelet that snakes sensuously around the wearer’s wrist. It is offered here in 18k yellow gold with a silver opaline dial. This watch has been generously donated by Bulgari.
Merging two of the most iconic symbols of Bulgari design, the Serpenti Tubogas evokes both the shape of a woman and the fluid coils of the serpent. This watch marks a distinctive chapter in the constant evolution of Serpenti. It features a 35mm 18k yellow gold curved case housing a quartz movement, set with brilliant-cut diamonds. Note the 18k yellow gold crown set with a cabochon cut pink rubellite, silver opaline dial with guilloché soleil treatment and hand-applied indexes. It is attached to the wrist with a single spiral 18k yellow gold bracelet.

IMPORTANT NOTICES TO PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS
Time+Tide Watches makes no representation or warranty regarding any outside Valuation on offer. Prospective bidders should note the date and purpose for which the valuation was produced and all buyers must make their own assessment as to an item's value.
Where possible precise weights, measures and grading are provided. However, since in many cases this is not possible, buyers should not rely on any as being exact. When a weight is described as "approximately" it is in the opinion of the auctioneer an estimation of the weight of the gemstones in their settings and should therefore be considered as an approximation. This information is given as a guide and prospective bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.
It is the buyer's responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other statutory documentation prior to shipping. The inability of import of any such items shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to any restrictions on importation or exportation.
