The Bulgari Diva Finissima Minute Repeater is the world's thinnest minute repeater and sports an incredibly luxurious design. Traditionally feminine watches rarely receive a high level of complication, but the Diva Finissima Minute Repeater manages to combine incredible aesthetics while not cutting corners in the process. With a 3.12mm thickness, the hand-wound caliber BVL 362 Finissimo movement is an impressive feat for Bulgari, and is activated by using a diamond-studded fan on the side of the watch.
The ultra-thin Bulgari Diva Finissima Minute Repeater features a luxurious design showcasing pink gold and brilliant cut diamonds. The case is comprised of 18k pink gold, and the crown, hour markers and small seconds are all set with diamonds. The dial of the watch is crafted using a Japanese lacquering technique and is sprinkled with gold dust. The strap of the watch is made of alligator hide and is polished for an elegant black look. Bulgari has only created 10 of these timepieces with each priced at $187,000.
