Catalogue Essay
- In 2022 in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Octo Finnissimo as well as the man who designed it, Bulgari release two Octo Finissimo now dubbed as "Sketch" by collectors. Taking the original sketeches by Bulgari's product creation executive director, Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, two models each in a limited edition of 200 pieces were launched with the original hand sketches as the dials: A time only Octo Finissimo Automatic (also offered in this auction) and a Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT (the present lot).

- The Bulgari caliber BVL 318 powered by a platinum peripheral rotor housed in the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT is one of the world's slimmest automatic chronograph dual-time movements, measuring only 3.30mm thick and boasting a 55-hour power reserve.

- The present Octo Finissimo “Sketch” with a whimsical "human-touch" is in “like-new” unworn condition with its full set of accessories.

Bulgari

Italian
Originally from Kalarites, Greece, Sotirios Voulgaris emigrated to Rome because of Greece's rising poverty and difficulty separating from the Ottoman Empire. He set foot on Italian soil in 1880 with little money in his pocket and spent the next four years preparing what would go on to become Italy's oldest jewelry company. In 1884, Bulgari opened its doors to the Italian people with its offering of jewelry and accessories. Bulgari's style takes from traditions in Greek and Roman craftsmanship to elegantly balance volume and subtlety. Later, in the late 1960s, Bulgari bridged classicism and modernity by introducing its seductive, now-iconic Serpenti collection of snake-shaped coil bracelets and watches. It is through its meticulous combination of influences that Bulgari has garnered an international and loyal high-profile clientele, which included Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn. These Hollywood stars have immortalized the house's unique gem-adorned bracelets, necklaces and earrings in rounded forms.
