BULGARI OCTO FINISSIMO ULTRA

The case is so slim that it is only slightly thicker than a dime. There are eight patents pending for the watch, and it even features a QR code on the barrel’s ratchet wheel. It is being sold with exclusive NFT artwork but just 10 will ever be , made. The caliber is built directly into the watch’s tungsten carbide caseback.
