Cartier Baignoire Allongee - Sapphire Diamond Pave

This ultra-rare neo-vintage Cartier Baignoire Allongée is a masterpiece of elegance, rarity, and design innovation—an extraordinary reference that transcends traditional watchmaking and flirts with high jewelry territory. Crafted in solid 18k white gold and powered by a mechanical hand-wound movement, this piece dates to the early 2000s and represents one of the most elusive and exquisite versions of Cartier’s beloved “bathtub” silhouette. 

The standout feature here is, without question, its factory-set sapphire dial. While most Baignoire Allongée watches feature traditional Roman numeral dials, this example showcases two tones of expertly cut natural blue sapphires arranged in a seamless, radiant mosaic. The depth, color variation, and vibrancy of the stones shift beautifully in the light, making this one of the most unique dials ever produced by Cartier. Only a handful of these sapphire-dial variants are known to exist, placing this reference among the rarest Cartier creations ever offered to the public.

Its signature elongated oval case—measuring a graceful 22mm by 47mm—sits elegantly on the wrist, with its curvature allowing it to conform comfortably to nearly any wrist size. This example comes complete with an original Cartier navy blue strap and matching 18k white gold deployant clasp, a pairing that perfectly complements the deep tones of the dial while remaining classically understated.

This watch has been recently serviced and is running flawlessly. It is in great and honest condition, with all parts 100% original, including the dial, case, and movement. The case retains its crisp definition, and the dial remains untouched and immaculate.

This Baignoire Allongée isn’t just a rare Cartier—it’s a celebration of what makes the maison so revered: elegance, restraint, craftsmanship, and daring beauty. Whether you're a seasoned Cartier collector or someone looking to own a uniquely significant timepiece, this sapphire-dial Allongée is a trophy-level acquisition. Offered watch-only, as is common with these early 2000s pieces, and now available exclusively through our flagship New York City boutique or online. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime example.
