Model: Tortue Case Material: Yellow Gold and Diamonds Bracelet Material: Leather Strap Year: 1980'S Movement: Manual Case N°: 224 082 Dimensions: 22 × 31 mm Signed: Dial, Case and Movement A real iconic Cartier model, the present lot is an elegant lady’s wristwatch based on the first Tortue model made by the French jeweler and watchmaker Cartier, initially launched in the 1910s. Equipped with a manual mechanism the case is obviously smaller than the contemporary standards with its 22 mm wide: realized in 18k yellow gold the two body case with bombé glass has been nicely preserved with sporadic signs of wearing. Moreover the case has been embellished with a very elegant diamond-set cut that is very uncommon to find on these watches. The dial features an extraordinary composition of diamond-set that cover all the dial and match perfectly the case and the cabochon with diamonds too. Simple and elegant, this wristwatch is the perfect accessory for every woman.
