From The Curator
This is the Cartier Ellipse — a rare and unapologetically bold women’s watch that blends elegance with avant-garde design. Housed in a 27 x 27 mm 18k yellow gold case, the shape walks a fine line between circle and square, giving it a presence that’s both soft and sculptural.
The dial is classic Cartier: Roman numerals, sword hands, and a crisp minute track — but it’s the enamel detailing on the lugs that steals the show, adding a graphic punch that feels more gallery piece than jewelry box staple.
Finished with a cabochon crown and a replacement buckle, the Ellipse is for the woman who appreciates heritage but gravitates toward the unexpected. Understated? Not exactly. Unforgettable? Absolutely.
And of course, it comes complete with a certificate of authenticity and appraisal and is shipped carefully and fully insured.
