The Cartier Rêves de panthères watch is an amazing timepiece that highlights the balance between brilliance in jewelry and watchmaking that the maison is renowned for. Featuring a rhodium-plated 18k white gold and diamond-set case with 315 brilliant-cut diamonds and beaded crown adorned with a brilliant-cut diamond for a total of 5.73 carat, the watch exudes sophistication and luxury. Yet the most intriguing part of the watch is found on the dial and its clever use of timekeeping: as the day progresses 3 panthers sit observing the passing of the sun and moon. These discs act as an hour hand, slowly progressing and coinciding at 12 o'clock with the respective hour. As the sun passes 6 o'clock is slowly disappears and the moon reappears on the other end two mark the passage of the night. It is a truly beautiful and ingenious complication to behold. The current lot is in excellent condition and even includes its full suite of accessories, including a new warranty card allowing the buyer to register for a brand new 8-year warranty. This is truly a stunning timepiece that any Cartier collector will be proud to call their own.
卡地亞擅於在珠寶藝術及高級製錶間取得絕妙平衡的獨到美學在Rêves de Panthères發揮得淋漓盡致。鍍銠18K白金錶殼上鑲有315枚明亮式切割鑽石,加上錐形錶冠上的鑽石,總重達5.73克拉。Rêves de Panthères集奢華與複雜於一身,其中最引人入勝之處在面盤上的三隻美洲豹,他們抬頭仰望天空,隨著時間推移,轉盤上的太陽及月亮正好可充當時針,與分針共同標示當下時間。當太陽通過六點的時標而月亮在另一端升起時,就象徵著從白晝進入黑夜。如此設計不僅創新亦復充滿詩意,本拍品除了品項保存良好外,還隨附完整配件,包含可讓買家自行註冊將原廠保固延長至8年的服務保證卡。對任何一位卡地亞愛好者而言,這都是一件不容錯過的傑作。
