Cartier, Panthère, Circa 1980s, White gold

Produced during the early 1980s, the Cartier Panthère is one of the Maison's most celebrated creations, seamlessly combining the elegance of fine jewellery with the practicality of a wristwatch. Introduced at the beginning of the decade, the model quickly became an icon of Cartier's design language, admired for its refined proportions, integrated bracelet, and timeless aesthetic.

The present example is particularly desirable thanks to its original Paris signed dial, a highly sought-after feature found on early production pieces before Cartier fully transferred its watchmaking operations to Switzerland. Further enhancing its appeal, the watch is crafted in 18K white gold and bears French eagle hallmarks on both the caseback and the deployant clasp, confirming its French manufacture. Completing the design is Cartier's signature sapphire cabochon-set winding crown, an unmistakable hallmark of the Maison.

Measuring approximately 22 mm in diameter, the watch perfectly captures the elegant proportions that have made the Panthère one of Cartier's most enduring designs. Preserved in excellent overall condition, this early-production example,  represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly collectible Panthère.
