Serpenti Tubogas and Serpenti Secret share Bulgari’s serpent-watch heritage, but they take it in different directions. Tubogas is a family of watches with a visible dial, quartz movement and coiled bracelet; Secret is high jewelry that hides its dial beneath the serpent’s head and, in reference 103795, uses a manually wound Piccolissimo movement. This is a product-specification comparison, not a firsthand wear review: the available information does not establish how either watch feels, fits or operates on the wrist.
How Serpenti Tubogas and Serpenti Secret share a heritage
Bulgari traces the Serpenti bracelet-watch tradition to 1948. Its heritage account connects early examples to bracelets made with the Tubogas technique. That makes Tubogas part of Serpenti’s design and construction lineage, not a synonym for every Serpenti watch. Bulgari’s Serpenti heritage presents the serpent as an enduring symbol of transformation.
The names also describe different expressions of that lineage. Serpenti Tubogas uses a coiled bracelet and conventional watch display. Serpenti Secret, also described by Bulgari as Serpenti Misteriosi, makes concealment part of the design: the serpent’s head covers the dial until it is revealed.
What the cited Serpenti Tubogas references offer
Tubogas is not one fixed specification. These examples vary in metal, dial, gem setting and bracelet configuration. Bulgari lists the cited models with quartz movements.

How Serpenti Secret and Misteriosi conceal the watch
Reference 103795: white gold, diamonds and emeralds

The 18 kt white-gold case and bracelet are set with diamonds, and the serpent has two pear-shaped emerald eyes. Its pavé diamond dial is hidden beneath the serpent’s head, rather than presented as a conventional exposed dial.

Product listings establish dimensions, materials and movement specifications, but they do not establish wrist fit, comfort, weight, bracelet flexibility, ease of opening or dial legibility in use. Those are wearer- and specimen-specific qualities that require handling the exact watch and trying it on. A review of the distinct MB&F x Bulgari Serpenti would not establish those qualities for these Tubogas or Secret references.
