Snakes are among the earliest symbols to feature prominently in jewellery - recurring from Ancient Egypt to Art Nouveau. Today, the snake is one of Bulgari's most iconic motifs, with the first ever Serpenti watch appearing in 1940 🐍

This example, in 18k pink gold and set with diamonds, is now on view at the mo_geneva as part of our ‘Important Watches: Part II’ exhibition and auction. Stop by before November 10 to see it in person, or click the link in bio to place a bid.
