A masterpiece of fine watchmaking and iconic design, this rare 1989 Cartier Paris is crafted in 18-karat gold and features a silver guilloché dial set in an elegant tonneau-shaped case.
Since its debut in 1906, the Tonneau case - with its elongated, curved silhouette - has been one of Cartier's most timeless and expressive designs. For more than 120 years, it has epitomized enduring elegance. It is distinguished by its screwed lugs, a detail that reflects both technical sophistication and historical authenticity.
The highlight of this watch is undoubtedly its immaculately preserved guilloché dial, a testament to the highest level of craftsmanship. Signed "Cartier Paris", the soft silver tone of the dial contrasts with the deep black Roman numerals. The blued steel sword hands complement the iconic blue sapphire cabochon crown, a signature of the Cartier aesthetic.
The design of this Cartier Paris represents not only style and fashion, but also the tradition and class of one of the world's most prestigious watchmakers.
In terms of condition, this example is undoubtedly one of the best-preserved of its kind - a collector's piece of exceptional rarity and refinement.
