Lucea Moon Phases

That most magical of complications is magnificently showcased by this moon-phase model in the Lucea collection, a coming-together of Bulgari's history as a jeweller and its skill as a watchmaker. The eye gravitates towards the moon that takes pride of place at 12 o'clock, set against a heart of ruby sky whose plum colour is in harmony with the strap. Its warm pink gold offers a pleasing contrast with the shimmering reflections of the mother-of-pearl dial, circled by diamond markers that form precious dots of light. The case, also in pink gold, contains an automatic movement. Connoisseurs will appreciate the carefully executed finishes – Côtes de Genève, chamfering and snailing – that testify to the Italian firm's manifold expertise.
