Details & Specifications
Description:
The Baignoire de Cartier watch, small model (reference WGBA0042), traces its lineage back to the original 1912 design that would later be christened the "Baignoire." A discreetly elegant ellipse uniquely forged in a single line, this piece embodies the essence of Cartier style—a unique marriage of purity and timeless chic. Crafted from 18k yellow gold (750/1000), its elongated oval case offers a refined, unmistakable wrist presence. The silvered dial, paired with blued-steel sword-shaped hands, is powered by a dependable quartz movement, offering reliable everyday accuracy.
With its yellow gold beaded crown set with a sapphire cabochon, sapphire crystal, and varnished black alligator-skin strap secured by a yellow gold ardillon buckle, this Baignoire small model bridges Cartier's storied watchmaking heritage with pure, refined chic. This watch remains a versatile classic—equally at home as an everyday accessory or a distinctive dress piece.
