1998 Bvlgari Tourbillon AT 40 PL TB - Platinum White Skeletonized Dial

Trade In
Details
High Complication, High Jewelry
In the late 1990s, Bvlgari asserted its watchmaking credentials by combining its mastery of precious metals with one of the most respected complications in horology. This piece is a pure expression of that effort. A manually-wound tourbillon, housed in a substantial platinum case, demonstrates the brand's ability to compete at the highest level of Swiss watchmaking while retaining the confident design language of a premier Italian jeweler.
A Heavyweight Execution
What sets this watch apart is the sheer presence of the platinum. At 149 grams, the case has a tangible heft that constantly reminds you of its substance. The dial presentation is clean and direct, with a solid white foundation that makes the openworked tourbillon at 6 o'clock the undeniable focal point. It is a masterful piece of visual prioritization, allowing the complexity of the mechanism to stand out without any distraction.
A Well Preserved Example
This watch is in very good overall condition. The solid platinum case presents well, and the dial is perfect. The exposed tourbillon at 6 o'clock is clean and performs its function as intended, providing a constant source of mechanical animation. It is mounted on its original leather strap with the corresponding platinum buckle. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Ritual Of A Manual Tourbillon
This is a watch for someone who appreciates the intersection of high craft and precious materials. The manual-wind movement creates a necessary daily ritual, a moment of connection between the owner and the intricate machine on their wrist. It's a classic, understated piece of high horology from a brand that understands luxury from the ground up. It works as a dress watch with serious technical depth.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
