The Ronde by Cartier here offered features all the exquisite attributes with which the Maison has been making watch and design history for well over 100 years: harmonious forms meet distinctive taste in order to give life to striking yet not eccentric timepieces. This very lot with its thin circular case, small lugs, cabochon winding crown and the highly unusual but aesthetic knurled bezel made in white gold perfectly adorns someones wrist without catching too much the attention. The engine turned dial recall the motif on the bezel with the small lines capable to create a gorgeous decoration, further embellished by the black roman and baton numerals, inner square track and feuille steel hands.
