The Cartier Baignoire is one of the French maison's most elegant and distinctive watch designs, celebrated for its sculptural oval case and refined jewellery-watch proportions. With roots tracing back to Cartier's early 20th-century watchmaking heritage, the Baignoire embodies the maison's ability to transform a timepiece into an enduring expression of personal style.
This Cartier Baignoire Mini features an exceptionally elegant combination of 18K solid yellow gold, a rare black dial and a matching black strap. Its petite proportions and minimalist design create a timeless contrast between precious metal and deep black tones.
Powered by a quartz movement, this rendition combines Cartier's historic design language with the convenience of modern everyday wear.
What makes this particular Baignoire Mini especially appealing is its rare black-dial configuration, which offers a striking departure from the lighter dials more commonly associated with Cartier's classic dress watches.
The contrast between the deep black dial and 18K solid yellow gold case creates a particularly sophisticated appearance, allowing the Baignoire's iconic oval silhouette to stand out beautifully.
Its miniature proportions give the watch an unmistakably jewellery-like presence, making it especially attractive to collectors who appreciate elegant, understated timepieces rather than larger conventional watches.
More importantly, this example is brand new and unworn, with its original tag still intact.
It comes as a complete October 2026 Cartier set, including its Cartier box and warranty card, offering exceptionally recent provenance.
The watch is also stated to benefit from an eight-year Cartier warranty extending through 2034, subject to Cartier Care registration and the applicable warranty terms.
At SGD 11,888, this example offers an opportunity to acquire a brand-new, recently dated Cartier Baignoire Mini through WLCSG rather than purchasing directly from retail.

There is something exceptionally beautiful about the Cartier Baignoire Mini, especially in this black-and-gold combination.
While many collectors associate Cartier watches with silvered dials and Roman numerals, this rare black-dial rendition has an entirely different personality. The deep black face against the warmth of 18K yellow gold creates a striking contrast that feels both vintage-inspired and remarkably contemporary.
We particularly love the Baignoire Mini because it wears more like a piece of fine jewellery than a conventional watch. Its sculptural oval silhouette is instantly recognisable to Cartier enthusiasts, yet remains understated enough for everyday elegance.
What makes this arrival even more compelling is its exceptionally recent provenance.
This is a brand-new, unworn October 2026 full set, complete with its original tag, Cartier box and warranty card. With the stated extended Cartier warranty through 2034, subject to the applicable terms, it offers the appeal of a newly purchased Cartier timepiece.
At SGD 11,888, this is a beautiful opportunity to acquire a rare black-dial Cartier Baignoire Mini in solid 18K yellow gold, with the added appeal of an unused, recently dated full set.
A miniature watch with an unmistakable Cartier identity—proof that exceptional design does not need grand proportions to make an impression.
