- The Cartier Tortue is arguably one of the most emblematic and classic watch cases of the early 20th century. Designed by non-other than Louis Cartier in 1912, the original voluptuous tonneau-shaped case is elegant, sophisticated and named “tortue à pattes” or “turtle on legs” both for its resemblance to the animal’s shape, along for its connotations with good fortune and longevity. - Elegantly proportioned, the case of this timepiece is complemented by two rows of blinding brilliant-cut diamonds throughout. Housed inside is the firm’s signature guilloche dial with Roman numerals. Fitted with a sapphire caseback, its wearer is invited to admire the highly praised manual cal. 430MC from the coveted CPCP collection. - Offered in excellent overall condition, the present timepiece is complete with its original accessories.
