Notes
With an extraordinary vision, artisans at Cartier imbibed the imaginary world of Chinese mythologies to create a limited edition collection destined to inspire wonders and admirations. Housed in a wondrously crafted openwork case, the present watch features a graceful dragon motif which is silhouetted by 18K white gold, fine diamonds (6.28 carats in total) as well as a beautiful emerald stone for its eye. The dragon motif is repeated on the motherof-pearl dial, further conferring a sense of decorum and elegance to this gorgeous timepiece.
