Cartier - Rare Baignoire Allongée | 18k White Gold | Ref 2673 | Guilloche Dial
Throughout its rich history, Cartier has wielded shape not just as a design element, but as a language of its own. Pebbles, bathtubs, turtles and even the sturdy lines of military machinery; these unassuming muses have all been coaxed, through Cartier’s quiet magic, into iconic forms that transcend their origins.
The 1912 Tortue, inspired by the unhurried grace of a turtle on legs, was a departure from convention, as bold as it was unexpected. The Normale, borrowed from the armored hulls of tanks, redefined what a wristwatch could become. Then came the Pebble, an ode to river stones, its tranquil curves whispering of nature’s artistry. And the Baignoire, its shape echoing the soft lines of a bathtub, an enduring testament to Cartier’s ability to elevate simplicity into something refined.
In the realm of horology, white gold Cartiers are as elusive as unicorns in the forest. The Baignoire Allongée is extraordinary, a silhouette that speaks of elegance without excess, audacity without ostentation.
It is pure sculpture; Cartier’s nod to the endless possibilities of shape; proof that even the most familiar objects can, in the right hands, become unforgettable.
