La Colisée: make lines with a circle.
Description
The Cartier "Colisée" presents a bold new look in contrast to the Cartier codes, which excelled in shaped watches. Original with its round case and integrated horizontal lugs, it can be an alternative to the more classic and simple models of the Maison.
The Colisée was released in the Must range, but also in 18-carat gold. This is indeed the case with this model. A classic version that isn't so classic despite its white dial, black Roman numerals, and blued hands: the vertical lugs are set with twenty round diamonds, and the crown is adorned with a round diamond set pointing upwards.
A significant detail for comfort and aesthetics, this piece features an 18-carat yellow gold folding clasp. The quartz movement makes it very practical for everyday wear.
Finally, this Cartier Colisée comes with a copy of its 1991 Cartier warranty certificate and its purchase invoice.
How to wear it?
Françoise particularly likes the geometric spirit of this watch: a rounded case and horizontal stretchers that seem to simply rest on the watch. Its compact size despite a rather striking design makes it a perfect ally for any outfit: on a black strap to tone it down or a colored one to highlight it. The presence of the diamond setting, even if it makes the watch more precious, remains very discreet when worn.
Why did Françoise choose it?
Françoise loves the Colisée line, which is nevertheless shunned by many collectors. The positive aspect of this injustice in Françoise's eyes is that it makes it a Cartier that we don't see on every wrist, especially in this yellow gold and diamond version.
History
The Colisée was introduced in the 1990s. The case and bracelet/strap have been available in many versions, sometimes in gold, sometimes set with gemstones.
