The panther holds a special place in the history of the world’s most famous jeweler.

During the First World War, the Parisian maison designed a ladies’ wristwatch with a spotted diamond and onyx pattern. Commissioned by Louis Cartier, it was a gift to Belgian-French jeweler Jeanne Toussaint, whom he referred to as ‘La Panthère.’

Over a century later, the Panthère line is still a fixture in the Cartier catalog, and the big cat motif appears frequently on watches, jewelry, and more. This particular Panthère de Cartier is a ladies’ wristwatch in the brand’s 'mini’ size. Housed in a 17mm x 23mm white gold case, a sapphire crystal, and a stepped, smooth bezel with decorative rivets and diamond settings, it features a silver Roman dial and a matching blued-steel ‘sword’ handset.

Powered by a quartz movement and paired to a matching, white gold multi-link bracelet, this svelte wristwatch is the very essence of Cartier: beautiful, elegant, and lasting.

Whether you wear this special piece as an accent to eveningwear or as an everyday watch, the Panthere in white gold is surely suitable.
