This model offers both elegance and durability with its eye-catching combination of stainless steel and 18-karat yellow gold.
It bears all the details of the Cartier aesthetic, with elegant Roman numerals, sword hands and the signature blue-stone crown.
Classic looks meet modern technology with its automatic winding mechanism.
