Famed for creating iconic pieces such as the Tank and Crash, Cartier has produced many wristwatches to cater towards the minds of various collectors. With an exceptional experience in creating complicated timepieces, the Rotonde Touribillon Quantieme Perpetual Monopusher was introduced to the public in SIHH 2007 as a limited edition of 10 pieces.

The present example ref. 2874 is an exceptional example of a multi-complicated wristwatch from Cartier. Encased in an oversized platinum round case features a silvered dial with roman numerals. On the dial, first on the 12 o’clock position subsidiary dial is the month and leap year indicator. Moving clockwise on the 3 o’clock position, a subsidiary dial with two indicators are present, with a 30-minute inner track and the date ring on the outer track. Sliding down to the 6 o’clock position, the “Cartier” signature is present with an 8-day power reserve indication in retrograde style and a day wheel inside a window in French. Lastly, the 9 o’clock displays the tourbillon escapement securely intact with the signature Cartier bridge.

The present example is numbered 02 of a limited edition of 10 pieces and has never appeared at auction.
