Bvlgari’s most expensive
With the unveiling of Serpenti Misteriosi Romani, Bvlgari introduces one of the most expensive high-end timepieces, with a cost of almost two million Euros. This one-of-a kind creation comprises a massive number of precious stones – the snakehead is crowned with a 10-carat Sri Lankan sapphire, and a total of more than 60 carats of diamonds and 35 carats of sapphires form the snake’s body and scales.
Another auction record
A newly discovered Lewis chessman (a chess piece) that was bought for a little over $6 by an antique dealer in Edinburgh in the 1960s, recently sold for $900 000 at Sotheby’s Old Master Sculpture & Works of Art sale. The possibly Norwegian warder piece is regarded as one of the most famous chess pieces to have survived from the medieval world. The Lewis chessmen secured their place in history when they were found in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.
The first and only

The Ref. 6300A-010 Grandmaster Chime, created explicitly for Only Watch 2019, stands out with its rose-gold and ebony-black dials as well as the inscription The Only One on the subsidiary alarm time dial at 12 o’clock.
