Bulgari Bulgari Watches With Marble Dials: A 50th Anniversary Celebration

Bulgari has always been synonymous with luxury, and their latest offering, the Bulgari Bulgari watches with marble dials, is no exception. These new timepieces celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bulgari’s iconic watch design, originally launched as a limited-edition gift to the brand’s elite clients in 1975.

While the watch’s reimagining in 1977 by Gérald Genta marked its commercial debut, Bulgari officially considers 2025 as the model’s milestone anniversary.

To commemorate this landmark occasion, Bulgari has released a quartet of solid gold Bulgari Bulgari watches with striking marble dials. Of these, two models will be limited to only 150 pieces, making them particularly special. Similar to the pieces showcased at LVMH Watch Week 2024, these models come in two sizes-26mm quartz models and larger 38mm automatic versions

. The 26mm variants feature diamond-set hour markers and solid casebacks with 30 meters of water resistance, while the 38mm models are distinguished by simplified time-only displays, with no date windows, and display casebacks offering 50-meter water resistance.

The four models include both standard-production and limited-edition releases. Among the standard-production models, the 18k rose gold Bulgari Bulgari watches stand out with blue marble dials. These come in two variants, each showcasing different shades of blue marble: a pale ‘Azzurro Infinito’ for the smaller 26mm quartz model, and a deeper ‘Blu Incanto’ for the larger automatic 38mm model. Both are paired with matching blue alligator leather straps, lending them a sleek, cohesive look.

The limited-edition releases are particularly noteworthy. These are crafted from 18k yellow gold and feature ‘Verde Alpi’ green marble dials, paired with dark green leather straps. The 26mm quartz and 38mm automatic versions are limited to just 150 pieces each, and they feature a distinct bezel engraving that reads ‘Bvlgari Roma’ in tribute to the original 1975 limited-edition model.

One of the standout features of these marble-dial Bulgari Bulgari watches is their elegant simplicity. Without text on the dial, the natural striations of the marble are allowed to take center stage. The decision to use marble feels true to Bulgari’s heritage, and with the resurgence of stone dials in modern watches, these timepieces stand as a stylish tribute to a design that has stood the test of time.

While the limited-edition yellow gold models don’t explicitly advertise their status as limited editions, they come with engravings that commemorate the 50th anniversary, adding a personal touch.

Despite the limited nature of these watches, Bulgari does not charge a premium for the yellow gold models, which are priced similarly to their rose gold counterparts-$12,800 for the 26mm quartz models and $17,000 for the 38mm automatic versions. This pricing decision is a refreshing change, as it reflects Bulgari’s commitment to providing a luxurious experience without the arbitrary price hikes often associated with limited editions.

Whether you’re a collector or simply someone who appreciates the art of fine watchmaking, these Bulgari Bulgari watches offer a perfect blend of craftsmanship, history, and timeless elegance.
