Estimate: € 7.000 –⁠ 14.000

Throughout its illustrious history, Cartier has consistently challenged the norms of traditional watchmaking, favoring form as much as function. From the asymmetry of the Crash to the taut elegance of the Baignoire and the bold geometry of the Tank, the maison has long been synonymous with creative audacity. The Délices de Cartier collection stands firmly in this lineage, with its flowing, sculptural cases that evoke femininity, lightness, and a sense of whimsical sophistication. Evading the confines of symmetry, the Délices design is unmistakably Cartier—at once daring and timeless, inventive yet rooted in classical refinement. The present example in 18K pink gold offers a particularly sumptuous interpretation of this vision. Framed by a double row of brilliant-cut diamonds, the elongated, twisted-oval case exudes theatrical elegance without losing the maison’s restraint. The soft sheen of the gold complements the organic curvature of the form, while the silvered dial—graced with Cartier’s signature Roman numerals and blued steel hands—echoes the maison’s heritage of legibility and style. Fitted on a subtle yet elegant leather strap, the present timepiece is less a watch and more a jeweled objet d’art—an embodiment of Cartier’s poetic savoir-faire, destined to captivate the collector with a keen eye for form, finesse, and flair. The present Cartier Délices is further accompanied by its Certificate of Origin and fitted presentation box.
