Cartier Tortue WA5072W9

Cartier Cartier Tortue (Reference WA5072W9). A white gold diamond set manual wind wristwatch.

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 example combining white gold construction with a diamond-set bezel. Includes Cartier box and papers. Condition Report Revive Fair Good Very Good Like New The watch is in overall very good condition with minor wear throughout commensurate with age.
