This replica Big Bang 1108 46mm presents the Sang Bleu II concept in Hublot’s King Gold alloy, a proprietary blend of gold, platinum, and copper that resists fading. The 418.OX.1108.RX.MXM19 wraps Maxime Plescia-Buchi’s geometric architecture in warm rose-toned metal, creating a version of the Sang Bleu that leans decidedly more luxurious than its titanium or carbon fiber counterparts. At 46mm the case demands attention, and the reflective gold surfaces amplify that presence further with every movement of the wrist.

Build Details

• Case diameter: 46mm
• Case material: King Gold (18K rose gold alloy)
• Bezel: faceted Sang Bleu hexagonal geometry
• Crystal: sapphire flat with AR coating
• Strap: black rubber with King Gold deployment clasp
• Movement: automatic
• Functions: hours, minutes, seconds

King Gold differs from standard 18K rose gold through its added platinum content, which stabilizes the warm color and prevents the surface from shifting toward a paler tone over time. The polished facets on the bezel geometry catch light in a way that matte-finished versions simply cannot match.

What Collectors Notice

Sang Bleu editions draw attention for their departure from the round-bezel format that defines most Big Bang references. The layered hexagonal frame on this 1108 variant creates intersecting shadow lines across the dial, and the King Gold material adds a mirror-like reflectivity to each geometric plane. Collectors comparing gold Big Bang options often set this next to the 301.PX.130.RX, which uses a conventional round design in precious metal. Both belong to the Big Bang collection, but the Sang Bleu geometry gives this piece a fundamentally different character on the wrist.

This vs Other Versions

Against the titanium and carbon Sang Bleu editions, the King Gold 1108 trades stealth for statement. Where carbon fiber absorbs light and titanium diffuses it, the polished gold facets on this reference throw it back sharply. Weight increases noticeably over the carbon version, and the warm tone pairs naturally with earth-toned straps and leather accessories. This replica Big Bang 1108 46mm represents the Sang Bleu collaboration at its most overtly luxurious, aimed at collectors who want the geometric concept wrapped in precious metal.
