Cartier Tortue 18ct gold diamond dial
SOLD
The tonneau-shaped model was first developed in 1912 by Louis Cartier, five years prior to the Tank, and the same year as the release of the Santos. The Tortue quickly became a standout in that era’;s fast-growing luxury wristwatch market. The watch, designed personally by Louis Cartier, was characterized by its tortoise-inspired shape, which stood in stark contrast to the predominantly round watches of the time.
