Cartier Yellow Gold Concealed Dial Bracelet Watch

Brand: Cartier Model: Vintage Material: 18k YG Dial Color: Silver Dimensions: 18 mm Watch Movement: Manual-Wind Bracelet/Strap: Yellow Gold Bracelet (17.5cm) Box/Paper: Watch Only Condition: Excellent Condition with Very Minor Wear SKU: 214717 An unusual expression of Cartiers longstanding tradition of jewelry watches, this yellow-gold Cover watch blurs the distinction between a timepiece and a sculptural bracelet. Its distinctive design consists of a series of substantial, polished gold links, each with an angular, overlapping profile that creates a striking, continuous form around the wrist. Concealed within the bracelet is a miniature rectangular watch, revealed by lifting a hinged cover that integrates seamlessly into the surrounding links. The dial is signed Cartier and France, with black Arabic numerals and blued steel hands. The concealed winding crown allows the watch to maintain its appearance as a piece of jewelry when closed. Measuring approximately 18mm in width, the bracelet is crafted in 18k yellow gold and retains an attractive, substantial presence on the wrist. A particularly inventive example of Cartiers more unconventional designs, combining the practicality of a wristwatch with the appearance of a bold gold bracelet.
