Launched in 2007, the Ballon Bleu de Cartier introduced a modern design to Cartier’s watch collection. Its name, meaning “Blue Balloon,” refers to the blue sapphire cabochon crown, which appears set within a protective arch.
With its rounded case, the Ballon Bleu differs from Cartier’s well-known rectangular designs such as the Tank and Santos. This distinctive shape also contributes to its comfortable fit on the wrist, making it suitable for everyday wear.
The present example is offered in great condition, featuring a combination of a pink gold case and a brown leather strap.
