The present watch displays a marvelous combination of complications housed with within the iconic Ballon Bleu case. It not only displays an open work regulator-style dial, it even has a flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock, along with a dual time zone indication. The two hour indicators "jump", which minimizes time loss, and the second time zone is adjusted via a pusher at 10 o'clock.

While the manufacture today has scaled back on its complicated timepieces, Cartier had imagined a number of models during this period that combined their classic design codes with daring horological designs. The present timepiece is furthermore part of a limited edition series produced in 50 examples and is preserved in excellent condition. It is furthermore accompanied by all its original accessories such as its Cartier Certificate dated September 10, 2013, additional Certificate confirming the present watch is numbered 18/50, product literature, presentation box and outer packaging.

Cartier

French
With 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.
