Footnotes

The Hublot Big Bang One Click Steel Rainbow, reference 465.SX.9900.LR.0999, launched in recent years as a vibrant evolution of Hublot's iconic Big Bang line, embodies the brand's "Art of Fusion" philosophy by blending high-octane sports watch architecture with the opulent allure of a jewelry piece. Inspired by the fleeting beauty of a rainbow, this 39mm timepiece transforms the wrist into a canvas of chromatic exuberance, where 48 baguette-cut coloured sapphires, amethysts, rubies, topazes, and tsavorites cascade across the bezel in a meticulously hand-set symphony of hues—each stone a testament to Hublot's mastery in gem setting over 100 carats of ethically sourced materials.

Powered by the in-house automatic Caliber HUB1710, comprising 171 components and operating at 28,800 vph with a 50-hour power reserve, it features a three-hand display with date at 3 o'clock on a stunning multi-coloured round-cut gemstone set dial that matches the colors of the stones found on the bezel. The satin-finished and polished stainless steel case, measuring 39mm in diameter and 11.7mm thick, offers 100 meters of water resistance, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Complementing the spectacle is Hublot's signature One Click interchangeable strap system, pairing a rainbow color alligator leather strap with a black rubber liner for versatility and comfort.

Its rarity stems from Hublot's controlled production of such gem-encrusted models, which are not mass-produced but crafted in limited quantities to maintain exclusivity—often resulting in swift sell-outs. With fewer than a handful appearing annually on global auction platforms or authorized dealers, this reference stands as a coveted gem in Hublot's portfolio, appealing to collectors who prize its bold, wearable extravagance as a modern heirloom of horological artistry.
