The origin of the model Baignoire have antic roots since is taught that before its introduction in the market in 1957, it has been inspired by a similar model given as a gift by Mr. Louis Cartier in person to Russian Grand Duchess Pavlovna. That model was the starting point for a wristwatch that in all its simplicity and extreme elegance soon became a milestone for Cartier. The present lot is a very remarkable specimen of Boignoire: the yellow gold oval shape case with thick edges is well preserved like the dial is beautiful, clean and minimal in its classic style, with black roman numerals and the Cartier firm at 12 o'clock.
