Up for grabs is a Cartier Ballon Bleu XL in 18k white gold
Reference HPI00330 with large, 46mm case
This watch is a part of Cartier Métiers d’Art collection and was limited to 40 pieces created and available only at Cartier boutiques.
The breathtaking dial features an intricately enameled sea turtle motif, brought to life through the champlevé technique—where cavities are carved into the metal and filled with enamel before firing and polishing. Adding to its depth and allure, the dial incorporates black mother-of-pearl pieces, creating a shimmering oceanic backdrop that enhances the turtle’s vibrant, hand-painted details.
The display back shows off the automatic movement and is engraved with limited number of the watch.
This watch comes complete with its special and original Cartier boxes, the manuals, the certificate for Cartier d’Art as well as the guarantee paper.
Additionally to custom pearlescent strap that comes on this watch, mounted to a factory white gold Cartier deployment buckle, the watch comes with 2 unused Cartier branded alligator straps.
