The Cartier Monopoussoir from the Collection Privée Cartier Paris exemplifies a blend of vintage elegance and modern craftsmanship. With its manual-winding movement and 18K yellow gold case, it showcases Cartier’s dedication to both aesthetics and precision. The rosette guilloche dial features a central rose motif and blued steel Breguet-style hands, adding sophistication and enhancing readability. The black ink on the sub-dials and minute track creates a striking contrast with the white guilloche dial. Dual sub-dials display running seconds and a 30-minute chronograph timer, reflecting Cartier’s fine watchmaking heritage. The railroad minute track enhances the dial’s visual appeal while serving a practical purpose. The Tortue case, with its curved lines and polished finish, strikes a balance between timeless design and modern preferences. The 34mm by 43mm dimensions offer elegance and wearability. Limited production and the “Cartier Paris” inscription honor early Cartier designs, making this watch a distinguished collectible. Its detailed craftsmanship underscores Cartier’s rich heritage and commitment to excellence. The Tortue watch offered here is retained in beautiful vintage condition not showing much wear from age. The original crown with the facetted Sapphire is fully intact, engravings on the case back are crisp and present. The movement is a manual winding Cal.045MC that has a single pusher Chronograph function, something that not only enhances the quality and complexity of the movement but also the aesthetics of the dial showing the Chrono sub dials. Further the movement is beautifully finished as visible through the display case back. It comes on the original Cartier deployant and with original papers. A modern classic or Neo Vintage piece that ticks a lot of boxes.
