Cartier Ballon Bleu 42mm Aftermarket Panthère Diamond Dial Watch

Cartier Ballon Bleu 42mm Aftermarket Panthère Diamond Dial Watch

This striking Cartier Ballon Bleu is in excellent pre-owned condition and ready to ship!

The Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier, introduced in 2007, redefined what a modern Cartier dress watch could look like. The 42mm case strikes a balance between presence and elegance, its defining characteristic the integrated crown guard that disappears into the flank of the case — a detail that is instantly recognizable and completely original to the Ballon Bleu family. On a plain dial it is already a compelling watch. On this dial, it becomes something else entirely.

The dial here is an aftermarket cloisonné enamel creation featuring the Panthère — Cartier's most iconic motif since Jeanne Toussaint introduced the great cat to the Maison's vocabulary in the 1930s. The panther's body is filled with pavé-set yellow diamonds across a hand-painted enamel ground of black, white, and lush tropical green leaves. It is the kind of dial that stops people mid-sentence. The green alligator strap picks up the foliage of the dial perfectly, and the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal show no visible wear across the case flanks, lugs, or crystal face.

This watch is for the collector who finds a standard dial too quiet. The Ballon Bleu platform gives you Cartier's automatic movement and the brand's most fluid case shape; the Panthère dial gives you a one-of-a-kind conversation piece that references over ninety years of Cartier's big-cat obsession. It arrives in a Diamonds by Raymond Lee gift box and has been fully inspected prior to listing.

Each piece is fully inspected and authenticated by Diamonds by Raymond Lee in Boca Raton.
