Cartier has always been at the forefront of creating some of most fascinating timepieces with unique and iconic case design and shapes. In 1913, Cartier released an oval-shaped wristwatch, which then inspired the Baignoire collection. French for “Bathtub” the Cartier Baignoire was introduced in the 1950s and immediately became one of the stars in the fine collection of timepieces that the Parisian house of luxury had to offer.

The present Cartier Baignoire from circa 2000 is a modern iteration of the iconic model that still thrives today. Encased in its elegant and timeless white gold oval-shaped case lies a clean white dial with Cartier’s signature Roman numerals paired harmoniously with blued hands.
