Brand: Cartier Made: 1970's Model: Square Reference: 7808 Calibre: 2512 Movement: Manual Material: 18ct yellow gold Features: Small case with s apphire cabochon crown Dial: Off-white dial featuring black printed Roman numeral hour indices with inner minute track and sword shaped hands Case Dimensions: 26 x 25 mm Bracelet/Strap: Leather strap Accessories: 18ct yellow gold deployant buckle SKU: 2989 Essay This Cartier Square Gondole Jumbo Paris in 18ct Yellow Gold was Cartier’s answer to the 1970s trend of bold, large-case designs. It is impressive on the wrist and makes the regular Cartier Tank look tiny. The double-stepped bezel helps the watch appear even larger. This "jumbo" model was offered in both 18ct yellow gold and white gold - either in the horizontal orientation seen here as the "TV screen" or a vertical orientation. Other than the larger case profile, Cartier showed restraint in the Gondole's appearance. The dial is classic white with black Roman numerals and blued steel hands. When a well-known watch design is produced in a larger size, the dial proportion is often missed, but thanks to the brand's meticulous jewellery savoir-faire, Cartier nailed it here. To remain with Cartier's iconic list of design features, the watch's crown is topped by the brand's signature sapphire cabochon.18ct yellow gold 'Square' wristwatch.
