Powered by Cartier caliber 049 — a mechanical movement with automatic winding — this 42 mm Ballon Bleu wears its technical credentials quietly beneath a silvered guilloché lacquered opaline dial. Blued-steel sword-shaped hands sweep across the surface, while an aperture sits at 3 o'clock and a sapphire cabochon crowns the fluted winding crown. A sapphire crystal and 30-metre water resistance round out the practical details, with a case thickness of 13 mm.
The rhodiumized 18K white gold case is set with 138 brilliant-cut diamonds weighing a combined 1.94 carats, while the matching rhodiumized 18K white gold bracelet carries 1,001 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 8.92 carats — a constellation of stones that transforms the wrist into something truly extraordinary.
Please note that, in Cartier's ongoing pursuit of harmony across its creations, carat weight and stone count may vary slightly from piece to piece. Contact our team for any questions specific to this reference.
