A FINE AND RARE 18K GOLD 'SNAKE' BRACELET WATCH, BY BULGARI With circular nickel-finished jewelled lever movement, the white dial with Arabic numerals, in rectangular case, snap on back, set in the middle part of the 18K gold Bulgari triple loop flexible 'snake' bracelet, case numbered, dial signed Bulgari, movement signed Movado, 24mm wide Signed Bulgari, movement signed Movado, case no. 66'602, circa 1960 The "snake" wristwatch is one of Bulgari's most famous designs, created in the late 1940s. The first examples were made to resemble a serpent and fitted with a lifelike supple, flexible gold bracelet, the jewelled reptile's head concealing the watch. As of the 1970s, the model became more stylized with plain flexible spiral bracelets without a snake's head or tail. The particularity of the present watch is its watch set into the middle part instead of, as more common, to the end of the bracelet.
