The case is a direct tribute to the iconic horseshoe radiator grille of Bugatti's legendary automobiles, a design that is instantly recognizable to any automotive enthusiast. This is a shaped watch that uses the car's most famous feature as its entire identity. Produced in the late 1990s, these pieces captured the spirit of a brand synonymous with engineering and style.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Gold And Self-Winding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhile many of the Bugatti grille watches from this era were produced in steel with quartz movements, this example stands apart.

The vertically striped white dial completes the classic, automotive-inspired aesthetic.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExceptional And Clearly Cared For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch is in fantastic overall condition.
