The Baignoire de Cartier (ref. WGBA0041) continues a Cartier icon first conceived in the early 20th century, defined by its elegant oval shape and curved lines. Translated as “bathtub,” the Baignoire's flowing silhouette has graced the wrists of tastemakers for generations, and in this updated 18mm format, it leans into its jewellery‑watch heritage with quiet refinement.

Crafted from 18k yellow gold, the case measures a compact 18mm across, with gently tapering lugs integrated into a seamless oval profile. A silvered dial, brushed vertically, carries Cartier’s signature Roman numerals and blued sword hands, all protected beneath a domed crystal. The watch is powered by a high-precision quartz movement and secured on a matching yellow‑gold bracelet that blends fluidly with the lugs.

While other creations have come and gone from the Cartier catalogue, the Baignoire endures through subtle innovation and graceful restraint. Ref. WGBA0041 exemplifies this legacy – a distilled and feminine interpretation of one of Cartier’s most recognisable case designs.
