CARTIER RONDE LOUIS CARTIER • CPCP • PLATINIUM
An emblematic piece from the very first year of the Collection Privée Cartier Paris, this Ronde Louis Cartier embodies everything collectors seek: exclusivity, refinement, and heritage.
Crafted in 950 platinum and produced in only 100 to 150 examples, it represents absolute rarity. Its solid 18-carat gold dial, hand-guilloché and hand-finished, reflects the artisanal savoir-faire that set Cartier’s workshops apart. A precious detail: the rarely seen “Made in France” marking, underscoring its unique character.
With its 34 mm diameter, alligator strap, and original platinum deployant clasp, this watch strikes the perfect balance between understated elegance and timeless prestige.
Delivered with its box, this Ronde Louis Cartier CPCP is more than a watch: it is a fragment of horological history, a unique opportunity to acquire a piece that appears only once in a collection.
