Strap for Serpenti Spiga Pink Gold Black
Integrated bracelet: measurements, the most common questions, and the way to a made-to-measure strap.
Integrated bracelet
The Bulgari Serpenti 102128 is designed with a bracelet integrated into the case. For a compatible made-to-measure strap, the Casati Milano atelier builds it on your watch.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fit a standard strap on the Bulgari Serpenti 102128?
No, the bracelet is integrated into the case. The lug is not a standard one – it's proprietary, sinuous, part of the sculpture itself. A conventional strap won't find any grip. I craft a bespoke solution in the workshop, directly on your case.
How does the bespoke strap work for the Serpenti?
We work only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment. I take the watch in hand, study the geometry of the lug, measure the space. From there the sartorial project is born, sewn piece by piece for your wrist.
Which leather do I prefer for the Bulgari Serpenti?
Mississippi alligator dyed in dusty rose. This model breathes sensuality – it doesn't compete with the gold, it speaks to it. Structured, supple alligator leather follows the curve of the case without weighing it down. I watch it age beautifully, deepening in tone over time.
How long does a well-made strap last?
It depends on wear, but a quality leather used regularly holds up for 5-8 years, sometimes longer. What matters is not neglecting it – clean occasionally with a soft brush, protect it from excess moisture. Noble leathers like alligator age with dignity, developing character.
Why does the Serpenti start as a bracelet, not as a watch?
In the 1940s Bulgari conceives it as a wrist jewel first. The movement arrives later, almost hidden within the sculpture. It's the opposite of what we normally do – here form precedes function. That's why a standard strap can't hold the original intention. You need craftsmanship in designing the lug, precisely what we develop in the workshop.
