Lee Ufan Artistic Collaboration
This special edition celebrates the work of renowned Korean artist Lee Ufan. His minimalist philosophy appears throughout the watch design.
The mirror-effect dial reflects Ufan's exploration of space and reflection. The grey-to-black transition embodies his use of subtle tonal variations.
The transparent caseback features Ufan's signature alongside the individual edition number. This personal touch connects each timepiece to the artist's legacy.
Why Choose This Limited Edition?
Exclusivity Factor
Only 150 pieces exist worldwide. This scarcity makes each watch a collector's investment.
Artistic Heritage
You own a piece of contemporary Korean art history. Lee Ufan's international recognition adds cultural value.
Technical Excellence
The BVL 138 movement represents Bvlgari's ultra-thin expertise. Few manufacturers achieve this level of miniaturization.
Material Quality
Hand-filed titanium offers durability with lightweight comfort. The process requires skilled craftsmanship.
Investment Potential
Limited artist collaborations typically appreciate over time. The combination of Bvlgari's reputation and Ufan's art market presence creates strong resale potential.
Care and Maintenance
Daily Wearing
The 30-meter water resistance handles daily activities but avoid swimming or showering.
Titanium scratches differently than steel. Minor marks can be professionally polished.
Service Intervals
Bvlgari recommends service every 3-4 years for optimal performance.
The ultra-thin movement requires specialized expertise during maintenance.
Storage Tips
Store in the original box when not wearing. The mirror dial shows fingerprints easily.
Wind the watch regularly if not worn daily to maintain accuracy.
