Watches from jewelry brands don’t usually light the world on fire, but with the Octo Finissimo, Bvlgari have done exactly that.

In 2019, Audemars Piguet unveiled the Code 11.59, then a brand new collection offering alternatives to the ever-dominant Royal Oak. At the time, the Code 11.59 was received with indifference at best and at worst, comparison to consumer watches from Fossil.
