Cartier W1542751 Tortue Privee Collection 18K WG Silver Dial LIMITED

The Cartier W1542751 Tortue Privee Collection Limited Edition of total 150 pieces is an elegant homage to the Maison's historic Tortue shape that debuted in 1912, capturing the transitional era between Art Nouveau and Art Deco. This model, executed in 18k white gold and set on a black alligator strap, is part of Cartier’s highly esteemed Privee Collection, which focused on reinterpreting the brand’s most iconic and rare case designs for discerning collectors. Its silvered dial is complemented by Cartier's signature blued steel hands and distinctive Roman numerals, creating a timeless aesthetic that underscores Cartier's mastery of both form and function. Powered by a manual winding movement, this watch is tailored for the purist who appreciates the tactile ritual of winding their watch and the historical authenticity such details bring. While not a sports watch, the case is finished to refined standards in gold, emphasizing versatility under a cuff or formal attire. The Tortue remains an important reference for those who seek out Cartier’s most storied complications and limited productions of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Offered in limited quantities, the Privee Tortue is prized among collectors who value both Cartier’s Parisian elegance and its watchmaking prowess. The case’s curvaceous profile is emblematic of the brand’s artistic daring, while its balanced proportions recall the enduring appeal of vintage haute horlogerie. This reference is a testament to Cartier’s role bridging jewelry and watchmaking excellence, with enduring collector relevance. Like New with Cartier CPCP box and undated papers.
