No, it’s not a Tank. And yes, it deserves your attention!
While Parisian jeweler to the stars Cartier may be best known in horological circles for its famed Tank Louis watch, there are numerous other models in their archives that are both beautiful and compelling. In recent years, Cartier has been pouring through their history and re-imagining selections for contemporary release as part of their highly regarded Privé Collection.
French for coliseum, the Cartier Colisee is one of the coolest round watches in Cartier’s archive. The model family was produced between the 70s and the 90s. The round case with a broad bezel and integrated vertical lug and bracelet attachment is incredibly unique. Few recognize the Cartier ‘C’ logo integrated into the bracelet layout.
This particular Colisee is especially precious, executed in yellow gold with a diamond set bezel, bracelet attachment, and bracelet.
This piece is the kind of watch that would run six figures in the contemporary market. A brilliant work of high jewelry, this is an elegant and distinguished ladies piece for the discerning few!
