With this model, Cartier took up the design language and exclusivity of its luxurious ladies' watches from the 1920s. The tonneau-shaped 18 K rose gold case is set with 36 brilliant-cut diamonds. At both ends is a stirrup-shaped, movable bar, which is set with 14 brilliant-cut diamonds. It connects the watch case to the open bracelet made of seed pearls and small rose gold rings. The bracelet is secured with a diamond-set deployant clasp.
