Bulgari 104005 Octo Finissimo Laurent Grasso Titanium Blue Dial

The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Laurent Grasso Special Edition (Ref. 104005) is a striking manifestation of ultra‑thin haute horlogerie, released in 2024 in a strictly limited run of 200 pieces worldwide. Its 40 mm sand‑blasted titanium case, finished with a rich blue PVD coating, measures a mere 5 mm thick and is paired with an integrated bracelet in matching titanium—a testament to Bulgari’s prowess in architectural design and lightweight engineering. At its heart beats the in‑house BVL 138 micro‑rotor automatic calibre, just 2.23 mm thick, delivering 60 hours of power reserve and decorated with Côtes de Genève, chamfering, and perlage. The brass dial, treated with a seven‑pass serigraphy using metallic pigments, evokes a dreamlike cloud motif conceived by French conceptual artist Laurent Grasso, seamlessly integrating art and watchmaking. A transparent case back, engraved with Grasso’s signature and cloud motif, further reinforces the artistic collaboration. Water resistance is a modest 30 meters, underscoring the piece’s emphasis on finesse over ruggedness. This edition sits at the intersection of contemporary artistry and record‑setting thinness, offering collectors both a technical marvel and a visually poetic canvas.
