Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon Platinum

This year at Watches and Wonders Geneva, Bvlgari unveils a new interpretation of its Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon – a remarkable achievement in watch design, measuring just 1.85 mm in total thickness. In platinum, with both case and bracelet crafted in this noble metal, the watch asserts a more exclusive presence.

Enhanced by distinctive blue accents and a bracelet combining satin-brushed and polished finishes, the model remains the world’s thinnest flying tourbillon. The titanium version was awarded at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2025; in 2026, this platinum edition is issued in a limited series of just 10 pieces.

The World’s Thinnest Flying Tourbillon

In 2025, the Roman jewelry maison’s Swiss watch manufacture set the 10th world record for thinness in the Octo Finissimo saga with the Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon at 1.85 mm.

“Last year at Watches and Wonders, we already pushed the boundaries with the Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon. Today, with the Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon Platinum, the story continues and reaches a new chapter. This creation is not merely a new technical feat, but a true reaffirmation of our ability to innovate by combining the record-breaking thinness of the movement with the nobility and complexity of platinum. It embodies the perfect alliance between radical elegance and horological mastering, a timepiece that, through its exclusivity and sophistication, sets a new standard in the world of exceptional watches” says Jean-Christophe Babin, President and CEO of Bvlgari.

This exceptional timepiece is powered by the BVF 900 flying tourbillon calibre, a hand-wound mechanical movement with a 42-hour power reserve. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).

Platinum: Rare and Precious

The 40 mm case of the Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2026, along with its integrated bracelet, is crafted in platinum. First seen around 1780 at the court of King Louis XVI, platinum established itself as the pinnacle of luxury and refinement in modern jewelry and watchmaking in the early twentieth century.

Championed by the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements, its use peaked in the 1920s and 1930s. Today, platinum is regarded by many collectors as one of the most exclusive materials in watchmaking and a benchmark of craftsmanship.

A New Technical Challenge: An Ultra-Thin Platinum Limited Series

For a jewelry maison, platinum is not a departure, but a foundation. While gold has been central to the Roman maison since its founding in 1884, platinum appeared early on in signed Bvlgari collections and in one-of-a-kind high jewelry creations. Highly resistant and well-suited to gem-setting, it is especially demanding to shape. With its exceptional density and purity, platinum requires specific expertise and dedicated tooling, despite its ductility – strong yet remarkably malleable.

Platinum jewelry can be identified by the dog’s head hallmark. In high watchmaking, it is revealed through its finishing techniques.

A Distinctive Blue Signature

The Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon Platinum introduces a signature blue tone to its skeletonised dial.

Discerning collectors will note specific decorative details that define this limited series of ten pieces: a dedicated mainplate with an original galvanic treatment, a steel ratchet wheel and a bracelet juxtaposing satin-brushed and polished finishes.

Octo Finissimo Ultra: A Concept to Elevate Innovation

Each Octo Finissimo Ultra extends Bvlgari’s ongoing exploration of ultra-thin engineering.

Within the Octo family, the Octo Finissimo Ultra models hold a distinct position. Consistent with the collection’s design language and creative philosophy, they are Octo Finissimo timepieces in their own right.

It is their engineering that sets them apart. Fully functional and built for durability, they represent advanced mechanical construction while remaining entirely wearable for collectors of contemporary high watchmaking.
