### For Sale: Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tadao Ando Limited Edition Titanium – Ref. 103245 – One of 200 Pieces
I am offering a watch, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tadao Ando Limited Edition, reference 103245. This was the first historical collaboration between Bulgari and the legendary Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Released in 2019, this model is credited with bringing a new level of poetic minimalism to the Octo Finissimo collection and is highly prized for its pure, monochromatic titanium aesthetic.
#### Specifications and Artistry – The Zen Spiral
* The Model: Reference 103245, featuring a 40mm matte sandblasted titanium case and integrated bracelet. The dial is also sandblasted titanium and features a mesmerizing concentric spiral pattern that radiates from the small seconds sub-dial at 7 o'clock. This motif represents a Zen garden or the ripple effects of time in space.
* The Movement: Powered by the ultra-thin manufacture calibre BVL 138, one of the thinnest automatic movements in the world (only 2.23mm thick). It features a platinum micro-rotor and a 60-hour power reserve. The movements architecture is visible through the sapphire caseback, which is decorated with Tadao Ando’s signature.
* Design Philosophy: The watch is a masterclass in ultra-thin engineering, measuring just 5.15mm in total thickness. The sandblasted titanium provides a unique, architectural texture that is incredibly lightweight and comfortable on the wrist.
This is a complete set with the original limited-edition presentation box, warranty papers, and the signed certificate of authenticity.
### Rarity and Market Value
As the "Original Ando," this 2019 release is the most historically significant of the collaborations. It was strictly limited to 200 pieces worldwide and is rarely seen on the open market. Because it was the first of its kind, it is viewed by many collectors as the most essential piece in the Ando trilogy.
The official retail price at launch was approximately CHF 15,000. However, its value has appreciated significantly due to its cult status.
My price offers an extremely convenient value for acquiring the definitive Tadao Ando limited edition. This is a rare opportunity for a collector to secure a piece of modern horological and architectural history that is increasingly difficult to source.
Zurich pickup is preferred. Hand delivery or highly secured insured shipping within Switzerland is mandatory and negotiable.
