Sautoir<br /><br />A sautoir necklace displayed in the "Elizabeth Taylor Room." Gifted by her husband Richard Burton on her 40th birthday on February 27, 1972. The pendant top can be detached and worn as a brooch. The sapphire at its center is polished into a "sugarloaf" cut, with a pyramid-like shape rising to a peak. This approximately 65-carat sapphire possesses an unparalleled brilliance.
Original Model of "Bulgari Roma"<br /><br />The original "Bulgari Roma" model, the centerpiece of the "Bulgari Bulgari at 40" exhibition. Inspired by ancient Roman coins, this limited-edition digital watch, produced as a Christmas gift for clients in 1975, garnered significant attention and marked Bulgari's serious entry into watchmaking.
Serpenti<br /><br />A bracelet watch from the "Serpenti" collection, a signature motif. Since ancient Greek and Roman times, the "Serpenti" (snake) has captivated people as a symbol of "wisdom," "youth," and "eternity." This piece, dating from around the 1970s, showcases Bulgari's high level of craftsmanship, with its gold base adorned with enameled scales to depict the serpent's skin, a testament to the maison's enduring artistry.
