Story & heritage

Bulgari introduced Serpenti bracelet-watches in the late 1940s, and the serpent became one of the house’s most enduring signatures. The modern Tubogas watch combines that snake symbolism with the flexible Tubogas bracelet.

Official copy frames it as the meeting of two Bulgari emblems: the sinuosity of the snake and the contemporary soul of Tubogas.

Materials & craft

The current yellow-gold-and-steel model uses a quartz movement, 35 mm stainless-steel case, 18 kt yellow-gold diamond-set bezel, white opaline dial with guilloché soleil treatment, and a single-spiral bracelet in 18 kt yellow gold and steel.

How to choose & style

Treat it as jewellery first and a watch second. The single-spiral version is easier to wear daily; double-spiral and full-gold versions become the whole wrist stack on their own.
