Consigned by an important private collector, this exquisite Haute Joaillerie gold and diamond Panthere bangle timepiece perpetuates the beauty of the Panthere jewels that have captivated generations of Cartier’s clients.
Cartier’s Panthere jewels and watches have achieved cult status as perhaps the most instantly recognizable symbols of the Cartier brand. The present watch is an exceptional ambassador for the Panthere range, made of gold set with white diamonds, it embodies the powerful essence of Cartier’s big cat jewels famed for their femininity and elegance.
The Cartier Panthere pieces were originally inspired by a painting entitled “Dame à la Panthere” by the French artist George Barbier commissioned by Louis Cartier in 1914. The picture depicts a lady draped in jewels and a panther with a diamond collar at her feet. That same year, Cartier released its first jewel featuring the panther. In the next few decades under legendary director of Haute Joaillerie, Jeanne Toussaint, the big cat jewels and watches became one of the company’s most recognizable and glamourous products, adorning the world’s most discerning women including most famously the Duchess of Windsor.
Over the years, these exotic creations have inspired many of the brand’s advertising campaigns. Today, the Panthere range continues to evolve and update as one of the most desirable and coveted of all Cartier’s designs.
