Launched in 1927 and re-released in 1970, this is the rarest iteration, the ever-elusive and difficult to find 31mm Cartier Ceinture XL Jumbo powered by an automatic movement nestled within its bubble back case and with a perfect Paris dial.

Different in design from Cartier’s usual aesthetic, the winding crown, usually a signature element that showcases Cartier’s blue sapphire cabochon, is flat here and is held within a slot in the watch bezel that Cartier called “remontoir imperdable” (captive winding).

We sold one last week, were flooded with requests so here is another of the best Ceinture XL jumbos I have ever seen and in its rarest iteration - all original, perfect Paris dial and unpolished. With prices for its elder brother, the Cristallor, now touching the stratosphere, we believe that this is one of the most investable Louis Cartier models at the moment.
