Nestled within the exquisite curved case, the dial exudes sophistication, showcasing a subtle grey railway minute track against a refined grey backdrop. The black sword-shaped hands perfectly complement the dial, creating a visually stunning contrast within the shimmering platinum case. Adding a touch of historical charm, the beaded winding crown is adorned with a ruby cabochon—a signature feature often found on Cartier’s platinum watches. While the present reference is available in additional configurations, including a pink gold case with a black dial and a yellow gold case with a golden dial, the combination of platinum and grey is widely regarded as the most alluring.

Powering this remarkable timepiece is the oval-shaped manual calibre 8971MC, derived from the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 846. Notable for its compact size and versatility, this movement fits seamlessly into the slender case, measuring only 6.95mm thick while boasting an impressive 38-hour power reserve.

Numbered 36 in a limited edition of just 100 pieces, this example is offered with its complete set of accessories and remains in excellent condition. This is a rare opportunity to enhance any fine watch collection with such a superbly elegant timepiece, one not to be overlooked.
