Cartier. Very Attractive, Ceinture, Rectangular-Shape Wristwatch, in Yellow Gold, With Roman Numbers Dial Model: Ceinture Reference: 60010 Case Material: Yellow Gold Bracelet Material: Leather Strap Year: 1980s Movement: Manual Caliber: 2512-1 Case N°: 780950458 Dimensions: 24 × 30 mm Signed: Dial, Case and Movement As a creative designer and a pioneer in horology, in 1927 Louis Cartier designed a watch whose shape was similar to a belt’s buckle. For this reason he named this model simply Ceinture, in English “belt” with a very interesting square case featuring corners that appear to be “cut”. The present lot is a special exponent of this family since it hasn’t got the classical square shape but a rectangular one. Its stepped case has been well preserved over these years and is much more appreciable since it is in 18k gold. The white dial is clean and pure with painted closed minutes track and Roman numerals. The two swords blue steel hands and the sapphire cabochon are two prominent details that give greater appeal to the watch. Estimate € 4000 - 8000
