Bulgari - Octo Roma Naturalia

Bulgari presented the new Octo Roma Naturalia, three models inspired by the beauty of three natural stones: black onyx, malachite and lapis lazuli.

To preserve harmony of the grain and colour, the different elements in stone must all come from a single block. In a process that takes two months, each rock is selected, cut and polished by hand. Each watch must be assembled by hand from start to finish.

All models come in 44 mm cases housing the BVL 206 Calibre, a hand-wound manufacture movement with tourbillon.

The first execution is the Octo Roma Naturalia Onyx ref. 103487. Featuring a sandblasted titanium case with black DLC treatment and a bezel set with baguette-cut onyx, it retails at Euro 90,000.

The Octo Roma Naturalia Malachite ref. 103462 is crafted from satin-polished rose gold with a middle case and other components in malachite. Its price is Euro 130,000.

The Octo Roma Naturalia Lapis Lazuli ref. 103488 is made in platinum and decorated with lapis lazuli (thin slide in-between the skeletonized components, and indexes on top of the caliber’s bridges). Bezel and lugs are set with baguette-cut diamonds. Price: Euro 245,000

The Bulgari Octo Roma Naturalia collection is a demonstration of what Bulgari watchmakers can create for the clients of the brand. In fact, in selected Bulgari boutiques and with the help of the special Maestria application, they will be able to create their own tailored timepieces, including choice of stone, case material, case setting and any engraving on the back. With the Octo Roma Naturalia Bulgari offers a bespoke service that might be extended in the future to more Bulgari lines. bulgari.com
