Baignoire de Cartier Size 16 White Gold Diamond Silver Dial 18mm

The Baignoire de Cartier (ref. HPI01607) distills over a century of Cartier’s form-driven design into a compact, diamond-set silhouette. Its graceful, oval case – rendered in 18k white gold and measuring just 18mm – curves delicately along the wrist, while the signature silver dial with Roman numerals draws visual depth through minimal text and fine blued-steel hands.

Set with brilliant-cut diamonds along the bezel and lugs, the case is paired with a high-polish bracelet in matching white gold, maintaining a seamless aesthetic throughout. The watch is powered by a quartz movement for precision and long intervals between servicing. Cartier’s traditional cabochon crown completes the ensemble, underscoring the house's attention to detail even at this reduced scale.

Ref. HPI01607 exemplifies Cartier’s talent for creating timepieces where jewellery and watchmaking meet. Though diminutive in size, its presence is striking – and with its gem-set frame, it sits confidently at the intersection of elegance and precision craftsmanship.
