Specialist note

A masterpiece of haute joaillerie watchmaking, this timepiece is a superb stylistic exercise on part of the king of jewelers, Cartier. Exquisitely designed and executed, the skeletonized dial in the shape of Cartier's panther's head is, as expected in a skeletonized watch, integral part of the movement, as highlighted by the two jewels visible at 12 o' clock. The two emerald-set eyes are the only other touch of colour to this superb and elegant masterpiece.
