WE400131
Created in 1906, the Tonneau watch is shaped like parentheses opening on a curved oblong flinqué dial. Seemingly simple in appearance, the contours of the watch dictate the form of the movement in a feat of technical prowess. The Roman numerals, as well as the sapphire cabochon set in the winding crown, are forerunners of the signature Cartier watchmaking style.
18K white gold case set with round-cut diamonds, 18K white gold circular-grained crown decorated with a diamond, mineral crystal, silvered sunray effect dial, roman numerals, sword-shaped blue steel hands, fabric strap, 18K gold adjustable deployant buckle, mechanical movement with manual winding, calibre 8970 MC, water resistant to 30 metres / 100 feet. Case dimension: 39.2x21 mm, 7.52 mm thickness.
