Tortue, Small
A tortoise-shell outline from 1912, in yellow gold with a champagne dial.
Louis Cartier drew the Tortue in 1912, when nearly all watches were round. The case widens at the middle, like a tortoise shell.
This small model is 18K yellow gold with a champagne dial, Roman numerals and an octagonal crown set with a sapphire cabochon.
It uses a high-autonomy quartz movement and comes on a black alligator strap.
