Bulgari's World Record-Setting Octo Finissimo Timepiece Now in Striking Blue Titanium

The watchmaking world is abuzz with the unveiling of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar in blue titanium. This sleek, contemporary timepiece denies its complexity with its ultra-thin design, maintaining a thickness of just 5.80mm. Holding the record as the world’s thinnest perpetual calendar wristwatch, the Octo Finissimo line continues to revolutionize horology standards.

Over the years, this remarkable watch has been seen in several guises - from its original titanium version to the more recent warm rose gold edition. This latest blue titanium version is a limited edition, offering a fresh look and feeling to the wrist. Its mechanics remain the same as the model that won the Aiguille d’Or at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2021. The case is sandblasted titanium, covered in blue PVD treatment that adds another dimension to the Octo’s bold angular structure.

Powering this elegant timepiece is the ultra-thin manufacture calibre BVL 305, derived from the Octo Finissimo Automatic calibre BVL 138. It delivers a 60-hour power reserve while displaying hours, minutes, retrograde date, day, month, and leap year indications. Designed with a balance of subtlety and master craftsmanship, this perpetual calendar seems less complex than it truly is.

Limited to 50 pieces and priced at EUR 76,000, the blue titanium Octo Finissimo brings a fresh tint to Bulgari’s record-breaking collection.
