The Cartier Baignoire (ref. WGBA0021) channels the maison’s early 20th-century design flair into a strikingly modern interpretation of its elliptical classic. Borrowing its name from the French word for ""bathtub"", the Baignoire’s softly sculpted profile delivers a uniquely feminine aesthetic, with this ref. WGBA0021 rendered in 18k yellow gold and measuring just 18mm across – an intimate scale that heightens its jewellery-like presence.

The polished case frames a silvered dial with Roman numerals and a blued steel sword-shaped handset, paired with Cartier’s high-precision quartz movement for low-maintenance elegance. Sized at 31.6mm by 18.4mm, it wears slim and refined on the wrist, anchored by a coordinating taupe alligator strap. Water-resistant to 30m, it maintains everyday practicality while prioritising grace and form.

As part of the ongoing evolution of the Baignoire line, ref. WGBA0021 confidently revisits one of Cartier’s oldest silhouettes, offering a smaller, vintage-inspired option amid a field of larger contemporary watches. A study in proportion, it reinforces Cartier’s reputation for sculptural design and effortless Parisian charm.
