Details
Diamond-Paved Protective Cage
The articulated, diamond-paved protective cage that sits over the dial is the defining feature of this Ronde Folle. This watch is a piece of high jewelry, executed in solid 18K white gold and set with factory diamonds on the bezel, the cage, the diamond cabochon crown, and the buckle. The design is both a protective element and the central aesthetic statement, transforming the act of telling time. Paired with its original white leather strap and a diamond-set white gold buckle, the entire watch presents as a single, cohesive design from Cartier's jewelers. At 72.9 grams with strap and buckle, the piece carries the weight of its materials.
From Cartier's High Jewelry Collections
The Ronde Folle comes from a period in the 2000s when Cartier was exploring more avant-garde and sculptural forms, moving beyond its traditional, iconic shapes. The name itself, translating to "Crazy Round," signals its intention to be a playful and surrealist take on the classic round watch. This reference was part of Cartier's high jewelry collections, where the brand's identity as a jeweler takes precedence over pure horology. It was an exercise in form and precious materials, representing a departure from the strict geometry of models like the Tank or Santos and embracing a more expressive, art-driven philosophy.
Preserved Case And Original Strap
A case with sharp lines puts this piece in Excellent Condition overall. The surfaces of the 18K white gold case are clean, and the extensive factory diamond settings on the bezel and protective cage are all intact and secure. Its original white leather strap is also in excellent condition, showing minimal wear and retaining its structure. The dial is clean, with a clean silver surface, and the sapphire crystal is free of any marks. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
High Jewelry As A Statement
The case gives this watch a significant presence on the wrist, wearing more like a substantial cuff than a traditional timepiece. It's an alternative to a conventional diamond cocktail watch, offering not just precious materials but a truly unique and sculptural design. The Ronde Folle is a piece that commands attention, a watch that wears as jewelry first and holds up because Cartier built it that way.
