Cartier Tortue W1580045

Cartier Tortue (Reference W1580045). A rose gold automatic wristwatch with date, day, month, leap year and perpetual calendar. Description Crafted to resemble a tortoise (hence its French namesake), the Tortue marked Cartier's third watch case design, predating even the iconic Tank. Louis Cartier, amidst the unveiling of the Santos-Dumont in 1904 and the Tonneau in 1906, conceived the Tortue in 1912. It remains a timeless design, with this extraordinary example combining Cartier's trademark elegance with technical complexity in the form of perpetual calendar functionality.
