Issued in a limited edition of only 50, this rare monkey motif watch transforms Cartier’s celebrated Ballon Bleu form into a miniature work of jeweled art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The dial is executed in the demanding Grand Feu champlevé enamel technique, a centuries-old process in which tiny recessed cells are carved into the metal, filled with enamel and fired at extremely high temperatures. White, orange and green enamel form the charming monkey and surrounding foliage, while the creature’s golden fur shimmers with diamonds. The effect is playful, luxurious and unmistakably Cartier. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 18K white gold case is paired with a diamond-set bezel, and Cartier’s signature Ballon Bleu silhouette is instantly recognizable, with its rounded case, integrated crown guard and cabochon-set crown. The watch is completed by a green leather alligator strap that beautifully echoes the enamel foliage on the dial. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cartier, founded in 1847, is among the world’s most revered watchmakers, celebrated for merging technical precision with timeless design. Extraordinary examples such as this, created within Cartier’s d’Art tradition, bring together fine watchmaking, high jewelry and rare decorative art techniques. With only 50 examples produced, it represents one of Cartier’s most whimsical and exclusive expressions of horological artistry.","brand":"M.S.
