Manufactured in small numbers during the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, the present ladies' Cartier Tonneau 'Paris' wristwatch exemplifies the timeless elegance and refined craftsmanship of Cartier’s early wristwatch design. The elongated tonneau-shaped case is crafted in 18k white gold and its graceful curvature echoes the Art Deco sensibilities that have long defined Cartier’s aesthetic. The case is further enhanced with a diamond-set bezel, framing a fine guilloché dial signed “Paris,” a subtle mark of exclusivity. The caseback features French import marks.
Introduced in 1906, the Tonneau was one of Cartier’s first wristwatch designs, celebrated for its distinctive barrel shape and harmonious proportions—a design that continues to epitomize understated luxury and enduring sophistication.
