Exuding charm, the present "Gondolo", or "Ellipse" represents what Cartier is best at: combining watchmaking with iconic design. In the second half of the 20th century, Cartier created some of the most impressive, creative and iconic designs of its multi-century history, imaging a multitude of case shapes as a canvas for their horological creations.

Cased in yellow gold, the present model is called the Square Incurvée due to the likeness of the case to a curved square. It joins the echelons of other fantastically designed watches such as the Crash, Baignoire and Pebble, to name a few. The curved yellow gold case shaped perfectly contrasts against the eggshell white dial. Furthermore, the "Paris" notation on the dial makes it very collectible.
