The Watch: The Rotonde 35mm is Cartier doing what it does best: classical watchmaking with razor-sharp proportion and unapologetic elegance. Cased in 18k rose gold and just 9.1mm thick, it offers a refined presence with a silvered guilloché dial, blued steel Breguet hands, and Roman numerals that feel lifted from a Belle Époque engraving.
Unlike the purist two-handers, this reference features abig date complicationat 12 o’clock—beautifully integrated and mechanically crisp.
Inside beats theCaliber 9602 MC, an ultra-thin, hand-wound movement developed in-house by Cartier, featuring twin barrels and thoughtful finishing visible through the sapphire caseback.
This is a watch for someone who prefersBresson to Bay—quietly expressive, beautifully composed, and built to endure.
Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition. Light case marks and strap wear. See photos.
