⸻
Artistic Design – Special Edition 'Hulk Rolex'
This model is directly inspired by the color and symbolic universe of the Rolex Submariner 'Hulk' (ref. 116610LV), one of the most iconic and sought-after watches by collectors.
The design, clearly visible in the photos, stands out by:
An intense green dominance, reminiscent of the iconic ceramic bezel of the Submariner Hulk.
An artistic illustration of the character Hulk, a symbol of power, brute strength, and uncontrollable energy.
The artist's signature inscriptions
TIME IS MONEY
We can be rich but never buy time.
Stylized gold crowns used as symbols of watchmaking prestige.
A high-end glossy black lacquered case with a mirror finish.
A cream interior, creating a luxurious contrast and highlighting the watch.
- Transparent glazing (front face and cover) providing a display similar to a gallery showcase.
The ensemble forms a strong, expressive, and immediately recognizable Pop Art sculpture, designed to be both displayed and used.
