Bvlgari Serpenti Tubogas: The Icon of Fluid Elegance (Ref. 101911)
Seamlessly blending the sharp precision of Swiss watchmaking with the bold spirit of Italian high jewelry, the Serpenti Tubogas 101911 is more than a timepiece—it is a wearable sculpture. This double-spiral edition represents the pinnacle of Bvlgari’s “industrial-chic” heritage, coiling around the wrist with a seamless, clasp-free grace that feels like a second skin.
The Design Philosophy
The watch is a masterclass in contrasts. It takes the “Drop” shaped case—a stylized silhouette of a serpent’s head—and pairs it with the Tubogas bracelet, a technique inspired by the flexible piping of the 1920s. The result is a design that is simultaneously ancient and futuristic, organic and mechanical.
Key Highlights
-
The Signature Coil: The double-spiral stainless steel bracelet is crafted without soldering, giving it an incredible “litheness” and flexibility. It wraps twice around the arm, creating a bold, jewelry-first statement.
-
Radiant Artistry: The silver opaline dial features a guilloché soleil treatment. These fine, hand-applied sunburst ridges ensure that the watch face dances with light at every angle.
-
A Pop of Roman Luxury: In a nod to Bvlgari’s roots as a jeweler, the stainless steel crown is set with a vibrant cabochon-cut pink rubellite, providing a stunning focal point against the cool steel.
-
Architectural Precision: Measuring 35mm, the curved case is ergonomically designed to follow the natural contour of the wrist, ensuring comfort despite its dramatic profile.

Why It Stands Out
While other luxury watches sit on the wrist, the Serpenti Tubogas embraces it. The Ref. 101911 in full stainless steel is the most versatile version of this icon—it possesses a “contemporary soul” that transitions effortlessly from a crisp white button-down during the day to a floor-length gown at night.
