- Signatures and Provenance
- The watch is identified by the reference 102720 and the case number BGO 44 T TB SK. It is marked as a limited edition, specifically piece 26 of 50. The Bvlgari signature is present on the dial, case, and movement components. The watch was sold on December 7, 2017. The condition is reported as AAA Excellent with the case and dial in new condition.
- Case and Dial Architecture
- The watch utilizes a 44mm octagonal case finished in titanium with a black DLC treatment. The design emphasizes transparency through the inclusion of sapphire components, which are integrated into the case construction to create a layered aesthetic. The dial is openworked, allowing for visibility into the movement architecture. Elements such as the indexes and hands are finished with luminescent material. The luminescence is also applied to the side of the case and the power reserve indicator located on the transparent caseback. The crown, positioned at 3 o'clock, is designed to perform dual functions: time setting and movement winding, activated via a push action.
- Movement and Functionality
- The watch is powered by the caliber BVL 206, a manual-winding movement designed specifically for this model. The movement is fully visible due to the openworked architecture and the sapphire case construction. A tourbillon regulator is positioned at 6 o'clock, which serves as a central feature of the display. The movement includes a power reserve indicator located on the reverse side of the watch, which is also coated in luminescent material. This indicator is visible through the caseback, providing the user with an estimation of the remaining winding state.
