Introduced in 2007, the Ballon Bleu de Cartier offered a modern interpretation of the Maison’s classic design language. Named for its signature blue sapphire cabochon crown, which appears to float within a protective arch, the model embodies both innovation and refinement.
Its rounded case marked a departure from Cartier’s traditionally angular forms, such as the Tank and Santos, lending the watch a distinctive profile and exceptional comfort on the wrist.
The current white gold example example is offered in excellent condition, with its presentation box, Certificate of Origin, DVD, booklets, and satin sleeve.
