Catalogue Essay
Cartier’s Privée Paris Collection (CPCP) sought to bring modern watches with a vintage flair to collectors. Available from 1998 until 2008, the collection gave the brand an opportunity to update and modernize some of their most cherished and iconic timepieces from the early part of the 20th century, including their “Tonneau” wristwatch, originally introduced in 1906. The model was one of Cartier’s earliest pioneering designs and today is an icon appreciated for its elegant, slim, curved case.
The present reference 2664 is encased in platinum with a guilloché dial highlighted by the black Roman numerals. The watch is a classic, elegant timepiece intersecting Cartier’s prestigious history with modern haute horlogerie. The watch is well-preserved and offered with its certificate and presentation box.

Cartier
FrenchWith the Constitution of 1848 came a new standard for luxury in France. Founded one year prior by Louis-Francois Cartier, the house of Cartier was one of the first to use platinum in jewelry making. This incredibly expensive material became the stepping-stone for Cartier to experiment in form, mechanisms and attitude. It helped men move from pocket watches to wristwatches, effectively making the watch much more functional and prominent in a man's overall wardrobe.Cartier did not only touch on functionality. Inspired by a commissioned painting by George Barbier featuring a black panther at the feet of an elegantly bejeweled woman, Cartier began incorporating wild animals in his designs—most notably, Cartier Panthère rings, bangle bracelets and watches. Yet it wasn't until the late 1960s that the house of Cartier debuted their iconic yellow and rose gold LOVE collection, which includes the famous bracelet that only a special screwdriver can open.
