Passionate about combining features of Rome's Imperial glory with its contemporary aesthetics, Bulgari began incorporating 2,000-year-old coins into its creations as early as the 1960s, propelling its unique heritage into an eternal modernity. In keeping with this legacy, the Monete Catene High Jewellery secret watch in 18 kt rose gold boasts a silver coin bearing the effigy of Emperor Caracalla, who ruled from 198 to 217 AD. Powered by the Piccolissimo in-house micro-movement, the timepiece combines an octagonal diamond-set case with a supple bracelet made of two gold chains embracing the wrist, while a mother-of-pearl dial with diamond indexes is hidden under the cover.
