Bvlgari Diagono Chronograph 35.5mm - Ref. CH35S (1990s)
This Bvlgari Diagono watch (Ref. CH35S), produced in the 1990s, is a true horological legend. Combining the bold design of the Roman house with Swiss watchmaking expertise, this model, influenced by the genius of Gérald Genta, stands out with its perfectly proportioned 35.5mm steel case and its inimitable architectural lines.
A symbol of power and elegance, this vintage Bvlgari watch made cinema history with its notable appearance on Al Pacino's wrist in the cult film Heat (1995). Worn by the charismatic detective Vincent Hanna, it reflects a sophisticated and determined aura. Dressed here with its superb Bvlgari alligator leather strap, it asserts itself as an absolutely essential pre-owned luxury watch.
Powered by a precision automatic movement integrating chronographic complications and the date, this superb men's watch – whose compact dimensions will also suit women's wrists – combines functionality and prestige. Highly sought after by collectors, it is a unique opportunity to combine timeless style and a true piece of history on your wrist.
Why did we select this piece?
- For its cinematic aura: It's the mythical watch of Al Pacino in the masterpiece Heat, granting it a "grail" status for enthusiasts.
- For its "Genta" heritage: Its cylindrical case, engraved bezel, and sleek dial are symbols of a watchmaking decade rich in boldness.
- For its original alligator strap: A luxurious and dressed configuration that wonderfully enhances the sporty look of the chronograph.
