Named Gouvernail thanks to its special case shape which immediately reminds to a rudder, the also know “timone”, affectionately nicknamed this way by Italian collectors, is very appreciated nowadays for its discreet and elegant design. The present lot has a fully 18k white gold case extremely well preserved: no other decoration are needed to bring out its beauty. The essentiality is in command in this creation and this is also demonstrated by the very clean white dial without any index and inhabited only by the Cartier signature and the two blue steel hands.
