Baignoire de Cartier Size 16 Rose Gold Silver Dial 18mm

The Cartier Baignoire de Cartier (ref. WGBA0020) distills over a century of Parisian design into a refined 18mm expression of elegance. Its signature elliptical case – a design first introduced in the early 20th century – is rendered here in warm 18k rose gold, framing a silvered dial with Cartier’s classical Roman numerals and a black cabochon crown.

The case measures 18mm across, comfortably compact and curved to follow the contour of the wrist. It houses a quartz movement, chosen for its reliable daily function within such a slender case profile. The smooth bezel, domed crystal, and polished gold surfaces underscore the piece’s decorative intent, while the dial layout – sans seconds hand – maintains a clean, minimal rhythm.

Compact and unmistakably Cartier, the Baignoire has long held a place in the maison’s permanent vocabulary. This reference, with its contemporary rose gold execution, offers a discreet yet unmistakable link to one of the brand’s most historic and enduring forms.
