| Bvlgari Vintage Bark-Finished 18K Yellow Gold Watch Powered by Movado Cal.8129 – Circa 1940s/50s An exceptional example of an early jeweler-era Bvlgari timepiece, dating to the 1940s–1950s when the Roman maison was primarily known for its high jewelry creations rather than watch manufacturing. This elegant watch features a beautifully executed 18K yellow gold bark-finished case, a distinctive hand-worked texture that became a signature decorative technique among prestigious European jewelers of the mid-20th century. The organic surface treatment gives the watch a sculptural presence on the wrist while maintaining a refined and understated elegance. The dial is a gold sector-style dial with minimalist baton markers and slender baton hands, reflecting the sophisticated design language of the post-war era. Completing the piece is a cabochon sapphire-set crown, a luxurious detail closely associated with fine jewelry watchmaking. Inside the case beats a manual-wind Movado Caliber 8129, a high-quality Swiss movement supplied to prestigious jewelers during the period. This combination of Swiss horological craftsmanship and Italian jewelry design is characteristic of early Bvlgari watches produced before the brand began manufacturing its own movements decades later. With its compact proportions and timeless design, this piece embodies the understated elegance of mid-century jewelry watches. ⸻ Specifications Brand: Bvlgari Period: Circa 1940s–1950s Case Material: 18K Yellow Gold Case Finish: Bark-textured hand-worked finish Dimensions: 21 mm × 28 mm Dial: Gold sector dial with baton markers Hands: Baton hands Crown: Cabochon sapphire-set crown Movement: Manual-wind Movado Caliber 8129 Strap: Leather strap Accessories: Watch only |
