The history of the Bulgari Serpenti began in the 1940s when the already glamorous brand introduced the Serpenti collection, which embodies sophistication and creativity. By inserting a watch dial into a Tubogas bracelet, Bulgari created a serpent-inspired watch (a design inspired by industrial woven-metal gas pipes). Over the years, the Bulgari Serpenti collection has grown to include watches, bracelets, rings, and other accessories and remains a cornerstone of the brand and a highly coveted collector's item.This BVLGARI Bi-Color Tuboga Serpenti, a tension bangle bracelet watch from the 1990s, is the ideal accessory for any occasion, day or night. It features a 19 mm diameter round case encasing a dial with Arabic and baton-shaped hour markers for greater contrast.
