Simultaneously elegant and cheerful, the exquisite jewel features a majestic tiger perched within a diamond circle atop a diamond framed dial.
Le Cirque Animalier de Cartier is a rare timepiece. This limited edition Cartier jewel is numbered 48 of only 50 made, worldwide.
No detail has been overlooked; even the golden buckle is paved with fine diamonds. This spectacular bejewelled wristwatch offers an ornately decorated case and bezel hovering amid a discreet, understated strap in a smooth, satiny brushed fabric known as toile brossée, infused with such an elegant, dark grey tone of saturated hue that it reads as black in colour. The contrast focuses the eye most emphatically on the appealing majestic realism, bright gemstones and enamel details of the featured exotic tiger depicted in haut-relief.
Lot 384 is accompanied by a certificate of origin.
Embellished with nearly one thousand beautifully matched white diamonds, and yellow diamonds,

This is a rare opportunity to own a work of art never to be repeated.
