Often mistakenly referred to as the Cloche or Etrier, and rarely seen on the market, the present Cartier Calandre showcases a beautiful, 18 mm equestrian-inspired “stirrup” case. Crafted from yellow gold, it displays gentle curves, a cabochon crown, and a perpendicular top lug. Though it features an unconventional design, this timepiece embodies the quintessential Cartier aesthetic, showcasing a crisp white dial with black printed text, a refined chemin de fer minute track, and elegant blued steel sword-shaped hands. Driven by a quartz movement discreetly housed within its bold case, this Cartier Calandre is complemented by an eye-catching 18K yellow-gold multi-link mesh bracelet, secured with a signed deployant clasp. A distinctive addition to any watch collection, it effortlessly blends elegance with a touch of daring style. Further accompanied by its presentation box, this Cartier Calandre is preserved in excellent overall condition, with visible and deep engravings and hallmarks, and still retaining a case back sticker.
