    Cartier Ballon Bleu - (Ref. W6920042) Product Details

    Overall Condition: Excellent condition overall. Case and bracelet show only faint signs of wear. Dial and handset are excellent.

    Few modern watches have become as instantly recognizable as the Cartier Ballon Bleu. Introduced in 2007, it brought an entirely new silhouette to the maison's watchmaking collection, replacing sharp edges with sweeping curves and transforming one of Cartier's oldest signatures—the blue cabochon crown—into the defining feature of the case itself. It has since become one of the brand's most enduring contemporary icons.

    This stainless steel example measures 42mm, the flagship size of the collection, and showcases one of the Ballon Bleu's most striking dial executions. Finished in a rich anthracite-grey sunburst, the dial catches the light with remarkable depth while oversized Roman numerals seem to radiate outward from the center. The recessed central guilloché pattern, sword-shaped hands, and discreet date aperture at three o'clock create a layered composition that is unmistakably Cartier. Encircling the crown, the signature polished crown guard flows seamlessly into the case, preserving the collection's fluid, pebble-like profile.

    Powering the watch is a reliable automatic movement, offering the convenience of self-winding performance while maintaining the refined proportions that have become a hallmark of the Ballon Bleu. The watch is paired with its original integrated stainless steel bracelet, secured by a butterfly deployant clasp that continues the case's uninterrupted lines from every angle.

    Accompanying the watch is its original Certificate of Origin from the 2010s, an increasingly desirable addition for collectors seeking a bit of provenance.

    The Ballon Bleu marked an important chapter in Cartier's history. It demonstrated that the maison could create an entirely new design icon without abandoning the visual language that made its watches famous in the first place. Nearly two decades after its debut, it remains one of the defining luxury sports-dress watches of the modern era—distinctive in profile, unmistakably Cartier, and every bit as relevant today as when it first appeared.
