Designed by Louis Cartier in 1912 and inspired by a tortoise, the unique shape of the Tortue watch instantly became a classic of Cartier watchmaking. This particular timepiece proves to be outstanding on many facets, with a semi-skeletonised dial sitting within its handsome white gold case and featuring a practical perpetual calendar. The sophisticated mechanics involved in engineering the perpetual calendar as well as the craftsmanship involved in skeletonising the dial makes this Cartier Tortue watch a true mesmerising masterpiece.
