The first Octo Finissimo made its debut in 2014, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Bulgari's horology. Conceived with bold ambition, this watch shattered conventions by redefining what a luxury watch could be, mixing modern minimalism with haute-horlogerie craftsmanship.

In a remarkably short span of time, Bulgari transformed the Octo Finissimo from a single model into a large collection. Between 2014 and 2022, the line accumulated a whole lot of world-thinness records: tourbillon, minute repeater, automatic, chronograph, perpetual calendar. In 2022, the Octo Finissimo Ultra was revealed, boasting a total thickness of just 1.80 mm, the thinnest mechanical watch of its time.

The case of the Octo, often in sandblasted titanium, features a striking octagonal architecture inspired by Roman design heritage. Inside, ultra-thin movements showcase the brand’s willingness to rethink traditional watch construction.

The Octo Finissimo reference 102711 (or for full reference BGO40C14TLXTAUTO) you find here is in pristine condition. The tone on tone dial ads a lot of interesting details to the watch, thanks to the applied numbers which bring a contrasat and some depth to the dial. Its titanium case and bracelet show only the lightest, careful wear, as can be seen on the pictures. It was originally sold in 2017 in Japan, and is delivered with its full original set. The movement is the caliber BVL 138, which is only 2.23mm thick.
