The Cartier Ballerine Ref. 2992 in full 18K solid gold is a refined expression of Cartier's heritage in elegant jewellery-inspired watchmaking. Distinguished by its petite rectangular dial, integrated gold bracelet and signature blue hands, this discontinued timepiece combines the sophistication of a fine gold bracelet with the functionality of a quartz watch. Its delicate proportions and seamless construction reflect Cartier's longstanding ability to transform a practical timepiece into an enduring statement of personal style.
What makes this particular Cartier Ballerine especially desirable is its full 18K solid gold construction and discontinued design, offering collectors an alternative to the brand's more familiar Tank and Panthère collections. The integrated gold bracelet creates a beautifully cohesive silhouette, while the petite rectangular dial and contrasting blue hands preserve Cartier's unmistakable design identity. Accompanied by its Cartier box and 2008 certificate, this example offers additional provenance and collector appeal, particularly for enthusiasts seeking less commonly encountered vintage Cartier references.
WLCSG Curator Note: We particularly appreciate the understated elegance of the Cartier Ballerine, a design that feels as much like a piece of fine jewellery as it does a timepiece. Its full solid gold construction gives it a luxurious presence, while the delicate rectangular dial and integrated bracelet create a graceful, almost bracelet-like silhouette. For collectors who appreciate Cartier's more unconventional and discontinued creations, Ref. 2992 is a distinctive find. At SGD12,988, this is a beautiful opportunity to acquire a solid gold Cartier timepiece with timeless appeal.
