This Cartier Vendôme reference 81001 in 18k yellow gold captures the purity and sophistication of the maison’s late-20th-century design language, where geometry and refinement meet in perfect balance. Its circular case, framed by the signature Vendôme straight lugs, expresses a serene and unmistakably Parisian aesthetic. The white dial, adorned with blued hands, offers a restrained and luminous clarity that underscores the timeless elegance of Cartier’s watchmaking.

Within this harmonious composition beats a precise quartz movement, chosen to preserve the slimness and effortless wearability that define the model. Each element of the watch reflects Cartier’s continuous pursuit of understated luxury, where function and beauty are held in equal measure.

The watch is fitted with an exceptionally rare 18k yellow gold rouleau bracelet, a sculptural design composed of finely articulated cylindrical links, culminating in a concealed deployant clasp. This bracelet, seldom encountered today in such condition, enhances the piece with a distinctive tactile presence and transforms the watch into a seamless piece of jewellery.

Altogether, this finely preserved Vendôme stands as a rare and elegant expression of Cartier’s mastery, uniting purity of line, refined craftsmanship and a bracelet of remarkable scarcity.
