Introduced in 2007, the Ballon Bleu stands as one of Cartier's most recognized contemporary expressions. Its round 28mm stainless steel case is shaped around the signature crown guard that flows seamlessly into the case profile, lending the watch its characteristic silhouette and balanced proportions well suited to feminine wrists.
The silver-tone dial draws directly from Cartier's jewelry-making heritage, with diamond hour markers that catch the light at every angle. Blue hands offer clear legibility across the dial's face, while a synthetic blue cabochon set into the crown carries the house's signature color accent through to the smallest detail. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial.
Powered by a quartz movement for precise, low-maintenance timekeeping, the watch is mounted on a steel bracelet secured by a fold clasp. This example from 2024 is presented with its original box and original papers.
