Up for sale is a rarely seen, highly collectible example of the legendary Cartier Tonneau from the celebrated Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP) era. Produced in very limited numbers in the late 1990s and early 2000s, this mechanical masterpiece represents the pinnacle of Cartier’s traditional watchmaking revival.
The Details:
- Case Material: Solid Platinum (950 PT)
- Dimensions: Approximately 46.5mm x 26.5mm (elegant, curved profile that contours perfectly to the wrist)
- Dial: Beautiful, crisp silver guilloché dial featuring the signature "Cartier Paris" inscription below 12 o'clock and the central rosette motif.
- Hands: Flame-blued steel sword hands.
- Movement: Manual-winding mechanical caliber.
- Strap & Hardware: Mounted on a dark burgundy alligator leather strap, complete with its original and period-correct Cartier 18K white gold folding deployant clasp.
Condition:
The watch is in honest, unpolished pre-owned condition showing normal signs of wear. There are light hairline swirls and surface scuffs along the highly polished platinum flanks, as expected from careful use. The dial is pristine, the crystal is clear, and the movement is winding smoothly and keeping excellent time.
