Hublot · Big Bang · 44mm · Ref 301.PX.130.RX.174 · new on Amazon
The Big Bang, in gold, paved with diamonds.
The 2005 Big Bang in its loudest form: a 44mm case in Hublot’s rose gold alloy with the bezel and case sides set with diamonds, six H-screws, a black dial with the chronograph registers, the automatic HUB4100 inside, and a black rubber-and-alligator strap. New from an independent dealer through Amazon.

The watch that made Hublot
Jean-Claude Biver launched the Big Bang in 2005 and it turned a small brand known for a gold case on a rubber strap into the loudest name in Swiss watches within three years. The recipe was fusion: a gold or ceramic case, a rubber strap, six exposed H-screws on the bezel, and a chronograph inside.
This reference takes that recipe to its end: the case and bezel in Hublot’s 18k rose gold, set with diamonds over the bezel and the case flanks. The HUB4100 is an automatic chronograph built on a Swiss base with Hublot’s own rotor and finishing, with about 42 hours of reserve.

What the listing gets wrong
The Amazon table says quartz. It is not; the 301.PX.130.RX is an automatic chronograph, and the sapphire back shows the rotor. The title says 45mm; Hublot lists the 301 case at 44mm. The reference number in the title and the photograph are the guide, and the diamonds are the point.
Every figure here comes from the Amazon spec table where it is right and from Hublot’s published specification for the reference, not from handling the watch.

Buying it new on Amazon
This unit is listed new by an independent dealer through Amazon, with Amazon’s 30-day return window on top of the dealer’s warranty; read the warranty line on the listing, because Hublot’s own warranty runs from an authorised sale.
Diamond-set Hublots resell well below their retail price on the secondary market, which is why dealer stock like this sits on Amazon under boutique retail. This one is bought to be seen. Nothing here is investment advice.
