This stunning platinum Cartier, a variation of the “Cloche”,
is rarely ever seen in its present state with such a unique dial configuration and case design. This unique platinum “Cloche” was originally manufactured and sold in 1996 for the auction “The Magical Art of Cartier”. Cartier commissioned two platinum “Cloche” timepieces made exclusively for the auction. The first example was fitted with a dial that reads “C.A.R.T.I.E.R.P.A.R.I.S” in place of traditional hour markers. Unlike the first example, the present watch features a dial with classic Roman numeral hour markers. Beautifully complemented by a chic, thin Cartier strap, this No. 1 of 1 watch looks absolutely sophisticated while worn on a wrist, exuding class and style with its asymmetric design. Never again will this watch be reproduced, making the present example the ultimate in exclusivity. Read More
