Cartier Tortue With Bracelet
The Cartier Tortue Ref. 96067 in 18k white gold is a refined expression of one of the maison’s most elegant shaped cases. Measuring 23 × 30 mm, its softly curved profile frames a white Paris-signed dial with black Roman numerals, preserving Cartier’s classical identity in a compact, sculptural form. Powered by a mechanical movement and paired with an 18k yellow-gold bracelet, this example offers a subtle interplay of tone and texture: understated, distinctive, and unmistakably Cartier.
Excellent vintage condition with very minor wear
First introduced in 1912, the Tortue stands among Cartier’s earliest and most enduring shaped designs, celebrated for its balanced curvature and architectural restraint. By the 1980s, references like the 96067 carried this legacy forward with refined proportions and traditional dial execution, appealing to collectors drawn to elegance over excess.
The Paris signature anchors the watch firmly within Cartier’s most collectible lineage, while the combination of a white-gold case and yellow-gold bracelet adds a discreet layer of individuality. Compact yet expressive, the Tortue remains a connoisseur’s choice- a shaped watch that speaks through proportion, heritage, and quiet sophistication.
