The Octo Finissimo Automatic was introduced to the market back in 2017 and became the third timepiece within the Octo Finissimo Saga to earn a world record in terms of thinness. Bulgari is set to release this latest iteration of their iconic Octo Finissimo in April of 2023.

Inspired by the supernatural light present in the paintings of an Italian artist of the 16^th century Florentine school, Bulgari has distilled a singular tonality to adorn the dial of this new edition. This unusual and unique color, paradoxically both soft and metallic, is sure to captivate watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Tuscany bore witness to the birth of a new artistic movement which challenged the traditional vision of the renaissance in the 16th century. One of the main characters of this movement was Jacopo da Pontormo, an Italian painter of the Florentine school, who created vibrant, luminous and boldly disruptive tones that deviated from the harmonious classicism, the discreet color palettes and ordered compositions that defined the serene naturalism of the Italian High Renaissance.

The almost metallic-seeming and dazzling colors he used, such as blues, greens, yellows, reds and pinks, caught the attention of Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Product Creation Executive Director at Bulgari Horlogerie, inspiring him to create a watch with the new color that will be available on the American market in 2023.
