Dial and Movement

The dial is finished in a guilloche silver texture and features painted radial Roman numerals. Luminous indexes are positioned on a plain reserve, and the hour and minute hands are constructed from blued steel with a lozenge shape, also featuring luminous material. A date aperture is located between the 4 and 5 o'clock positions, and a secret Cartier signature is incorporated at the 7 o'clock marker. Internally, the watch is driven by the Caliber 049, a self-winding movement. The caliber is rhodium-plated and finished with oeil-de-perdrix decoration. It operates on 21 jewels and utilizes a straight-line lever escapement. The regulation system includes a monometallic balance, a shock absorber, a self-compensating flat balance spring, and a micrometer regulator.

Condition and Attribution

The auction description identifies the watch as a piece created for the 150th anniversary of Cartier in 1997, produced in a limited edition of 1847 examples. The current condition is graded as "AA Very good" overall. Specifically, the case is described as good, though noted to have slight scratches. Authenticity is supported by the signatures present on the dial, case, and movement. The watch is sold with a fitted Cartier box and a stainless steel Cartier deployant clasp.

Case and External Features

The watch is housed in a three-body stainless steel case that exhibits both polished and brushed finishes. It features a unidirectional revolving graduated bezel and is equipped with Vendome-type lugs. A signature design element is the detachable grille that covers the sapphire crystal, intended to serve a protective function. The case back is transparent and secured by eight screws, allowing for visibility into the movement. Central to its visual identity is the winding crown, which is set with a cabochon ruby. This crown is secured by a screwed-down protective cap attached to the case via a small metal chain, . The case measures 38 mm in diameter and 11 mm in thickness.
