The Bulgari Serpenti is the most successful and sought after timepiece made by the famed manufacturer. Bracelets designed to look like snakes have been produced since ancient Egypt, but it was Bulgari who decided to make a wristwatch out of the design. The Tubogas bracelet was inspired in 1948 by a flexible gas pipe. The present example is truly special, with a bracelet made from 18K gold in yellow, white and rose.
