The Cartier Baignoire is one of the brand’s most beloved and sought-after shapes, perfectly reflecting the Maison’s creative flair in case design. Originally conceived by Louis Cartier in 1912 as a prototype for Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia, it was commercialized from 1958 onwards, following the original designs.

This lot exceptionally combines watchmaking and jewelry, enhancing the already precious white gold case with numerous diamonds across its surface and replacing the traditional cabochon with a diamond set in the crown.

What makes this watch even more extraordinary is the four-link spherical bracelet, with the two central links further adorned with diamond settings.
