Panthère de Cartier Medium (Silver opaline Dial)

The Panthère de Cartier is the 1983 bracelet watch that dresses like jewellery and reads like a watch, its brick links draping rather than sitting. Cartier returned it unchanged in 2017 because collectors would accept nothing else.

This Cartier Panthère de Cartier Medium wears a 36 x 27mm 18k rose gold case with a silver opaline, roman numerals face. Quartz movement inside.

Fun fact: The Panthère bracelet is built from tiny linked plates so it drapes like jewellery rather than sitting rigid. Cartier dropped the model in the 1990s and brought it back unchanged in 2017 after buyers refused to stop asking.
