Within Cartier’s pantheon of sculptural watch forms, the Vendôme stands apart—an elegant round case defined by harmonious proportions. Introduced in the 1970s–80s as part of the Louis Cartier Collection, this model represents Cartier’s desire to combine classic Roman numeral dial aesthetics with structural elegance. What distinguishes this rare configuration is the factory-set triple-line diamond bezel, paired seamlessly with an integrated yellow‑gold bracelet—an audacious marriage of horological craft and high-jewellery sophistication. In an era when most Vendôme examples relied on quartz movements, this variant transcends expectation with a mechanical calibre. The creamy silvered Paris dial, marked by bold Roman numerals and blued-steel sword hands, is beautifully preserved and crowned by a diamond‑cabochon winding crown. The bracelet flows elegantly from case to clasp, each link executed in yellow gold to reflect and amplify the sparkling bezel. Overall, the watch speaks to Cartier’s rare ability to deliver timeless form, luxurious detail, and true mechanical legitimacy in a single, wearable jewel—highly prized by discerning collectors for its understated rarity
