Cartier Baignoire

THIS IS THE BABIEST BABY BAIGNOIRE I EVER DID SEE. It's about half the size of the standard Baignoire – so teeny-tiny that they didn't fit the crown on the side of the case. Instead, you wind it on the back with a cabochon sapphire setting pin, which comes with the watch. How precious. It's also white gold (aka my favorite flex ever) because most people would mistake it for steel... but YOU know you're wearing 18 carats of white, hot gold. 

Here's more general info about the Baignoire: 

The Cartier Baignoire, which literally means bathtub in French, is – I’m calling it now – going to be the new it-girl watch. Wait, no, the new IT watch, period (for boys, girls, and theys alike). It looks just as good on Catherine Deneuve as it does on modern city boys like Chef Flynn McGarry. None of us can afford the Cartier Crash (...unless…), and this is the next best thing. Classic and elegant, balanced by enough statement in the design (it’s fun to see an oval Cartier). The leather strap makes it seem a bit dressy, but Flynn wears it while he cooks.

THE NITTY GRITTY:

The solid eighteen carat white gold case is in excellent condition, like new.  There is the factory case back sticker still present on the rear of the watch. The original, separate, setting pin is present with the iconic cabochon sapphire set into it. The dial is the original ‘antique’ white painted enamel with printed black Roman Numerals. The hidden signature is present at the ten o’clock position. It is signed “Swiss” below the six o’clock numeral.

The watch is powered by a Cartier-signed quartz Swiss made movement.

The watch comes with the original, fully signed, solid eighteen carat white gold ‘tang’ buckle. The burgundy lizard Cartier band can be changed out if required for a more classic color.

The watch comes with its original Cartier books and stamped paperwork having been bought in Mexico in 2002. As of New Year's Day, this is now officially considered ‘vintage’, reaching the ripe old age of twenty years old!
