Cartier Tortue 18k Rose Gold 38mm Silver Dial Black Strap Watch

This stunning Cartier Tortue is in excellent pre-owned condition and ready to ship!

The Cartier Tortue is one of the Maison's most venerable creations, first conceived in 1912 and named for the gentle, tortoise-shell curve of its case. Where most dress watches default to round or rectangular, the Tortue occupies its own category: a softly cushioned, asymmetrical form that wraps the wrist with an ease no round case quite replicates. The larger modern interpretation at 38mm retains every classical proportion while giving the watch a presence suited to today's wrist. In 18k rose gold, with a manually wound movement inside, it represents Cartier's jewelry-watchmaking tradition at its most refined.

The silver guilloché dial is what distinguishes this reference from the simpler Tortue variants. The engine-turned pattern catches light across the entire surface, adding texture without color, and the Roman numerals in Cartier's signature typeface run I through XII around the chapter ring. A large date aperture sits at 12 o'clock, and a subsidiary seconds subdial at 6 o'clock provides the only other complication, keeping the face clean and purposeful. The black leather strap is paired with a rose gold deployment clasp, and the condition photographs confirm the watch is unworn at the strap and pristine at the case. The warranty card dated July 12, 2017 accompanies the piece, establishing clear provenance for the buyer.

A manually wound Tortue in 18k rose gold with a dated warranty card is a genuinely difficult find. It suits the collector who values the craftsmanship of a hand-wound movement as much as the design, and the rose gold case pairs naturally with both formal and smart-casual dress. Few watches in this price category arrive with this combination of condition, documentation, and outright beauty. This one is ready to wear from day one.

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