Cartier Panthère de Cartier Two-Tone

The panther holds a special place in the history of the world’s most famous jeweler.

During the First World War, the Parisian maison designed a ladies’ wristwatch with a spotted diamond and onyx pattern. Commissioned by Louis Cartier, it was a gift to Belgian-French jeweler Jeanne Toussaint, whom he referred to as ‘La Panthère.’

Over a century later, the Panthère line is still afixture in the Cartier catalog, and the big cat motif appears frequently on watches, jewelry, and more. This particular Panthère deCartier is a ladies’ wristwatch in the brand’s 'midsize' size. Housed in a 27mm two-tone case, a sapphire crystal, and a stepped, smooth bezel with decorative rivets, it features a white dial with Roman numeral indices, and a matching blued-steel ‘sword’ handset.

Powered by a quartz movement and paired to a matching, two-tone multi-link bracelet, this svelte wristwatch is the very essence of Cartier: beautiful, elegant, and lasting.

Whether you wear this special piece as an accent to evening wear or as an everyday watch, the Panthère in steel and yellow gold is surely suitable.
