Watchmaking context
Cartier — "the jeweler of kings, the king of jewelers," as King Edward VII famously said — transformed the watch into a piece of jewelry from the early 20th century. The Colisée is an expression of this: a round ladies' watch from the Cartier Paris line. Its most recognizable design features the T-shaped lugs that connect the case to the strap, inspired by the pearl necklaces popular during the Art Deco era. The line comes in yellow, white, or rose gold, with a light or lacquered Roman numeral dial, on a gold bracelet or interchangeable leather strap; the most dressy versions feature a diamond-set bezel, lugs, and crown.
Personality
Between watchmaking and jewelry, this Colisée features a bezel and lugs like a diamond setting that encircles the dial almost without interruption. The turquoise leather enhances the whole with brilliance and elegance.
Watch serviced. Very good condition. Delivered with the brand's box and the 24-month Contre-Temps warranty certificate.
