Antiquorum is pleased to present «The world’s thinnest minute repeater wristwatch» in this auction — the outstanding Bulgari Octo Finissimo (reference 102559, No. 31/50) is a landmark achievement in haute horlogerie. Launched in 2016 and still unbeaten in 2026, it measures a mere 6.85 mm thick in sandblasted titanium case, powered by the ultra-slim manual-winding Calibre BVL 362 (3.12 mm high). The refined grey titanium dial with openworked indexes and a small seconds subdial perfectly complements the iconic octagonal architecture, while the minute repeater delivers exceptional acoustics. Acquired in Hong Kong in December 2017, this rare limited-edition piece masterfully unites bold Italian aesthetics with Swiss precision. Complete with original box and papers, it is preserved in excellent overall condition and represents an outstanding opportunity for discerning collectors seeking one of modern watchmaking’s most significant and wearable icons.
