The Ballon Bleu de Cartier WE9008Z3 presents in 42mm of 18k rose gold, its round case paired with a fixed diamond bezel that speaks directly to Cartier's jewelry-making roots. The silvery opaline dial is arranged with Roman numeral markers and blued steel hands, delivering a clean, legible face that has long been associated with the maison's aesthetic language.
Inside, an automatic movement drives the hours, minutes, seconds, and date functions, while a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial. The watch carries a Swiss Made designation and offers water resistance to 30 meters. It is worn on an 18k rose gold bracelet, keeping the warm metal tone consistent throughout.
This 2011-dated example is presented in used condition and comes accompanied by its original box and papers — a complete package for the collector or enthusiast drawn to one of Cartier's most recognized contemporary references.
