Cartier Baignoire reference 2986 in 18K Gold Unpolished

The Cartier Baignoire is an iconic wristwatch design that has been a staple in the Cartier collection since its introduction in 1912. Baignoire is directly translated to “bathtub” in French, which describes its most recognizable feature being the oval shaped case. This particular example is a reference 2986. This watch is not only a symbol of refined taste, but offers a perfect blend of craftsmanship, design, and history. The watch dates to the late 1980s or early 1990s and has a Swiss-signed dial at 6:00. The dial is a beautiful creamy color and the crown appears to be original and has a beautiful blue cabochon.

The 18k yellow gold case is unpolished and measures 22mm in diameter by 31mm in length. The strap is likely the original strap.

The watch does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well. It is powered by a quartz movement and has a fresh battery.

PRICE: $6,900 (Item SBUXYT3144)
