Executed in platinum, the exterior gives the piece a distinctive tactile and visual presence. Seen from the front, the geometry frames the dial with precision; in profile, the construction reveals the considered transitions that give the watch much of its character.

Taken as a whole, the watch illustrates how strongly Cartier's identity can be expressed through proportion, material and mechanical content. This example dates from Sold in September 2017.
