Production Verification Details
“P” Series Chronology: Bulgari introduced stamped letter prefixes for its case identification sequences starting in the late 1980s. For this specific BBW33GLSK skeleton reference, case numbers starting with a single-digit “P” followed by low three-digit increments (e.g., P.178, P.196) consistently date back to auction-verified records from the years 2000 to 2001.
Limited Numbers: Because the skeletonization of this movement was meticulously customized by Parmigiani Fleurier, production numbers were kept exceptionally low.
