Bvlgari is renowned for creations where high jewellery artistry and advanced watchmaking expertise become one. Among its most emblematic expressions stands the Serpenti Misteriosi, a secret watch rooted in the very beginnings of Bvlgari’s horological history.

Elevated to icon status through cinema, the Serpenti Misteriosi became legendary worn by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1963 film Cleopatra, sealing the collection’s place in both cultural and horological history.

Today, Bvlgari reinterprets this icon in its most contemporary expression. Crafted in yellow gold and adorned with 470 diamonds and 188 emeralds, whose vibrant green evokes Rome’s architectural and vegetal heritage, from ancient and Baroque green marbles to the gardens of the Eternal City, this Serpenti Misteriosi is a true work of art, requiring over 225 hours of meticulous craftsmanship in Switzerland. At its heart beats the BVL100 Piccolissimo, the world’s smallest round hand-wound mechanical movement, perfectly expressing Bvlgari’s dual mastery of high jewellery and fine watchmaking.
