Bold yet harmonious, its distinctive geometry highlights the creative exploration of shape and form undertaken by designers and craftsmen during this highly experimental period at Cartier’s London workshops. Contrasting yet perfectly balanced in its classic minimalism, the white dial features Cartier’s traditional Roman numerals and slender épée hands, while an inner black linear border subtly echoes the framework of the case. Completing the cohesive and thoughtful design, the original deployant buckle – bearing the same number as the case – features a specially designed half-octagonal peak to the clasp, mirroring the shape of the bezel.卡地亞 倫敦 Octagonal 非常罕有女士白金八角形腕錶，備原裝同設計白金及粉紅金錶扣，約1971-72年製 附帶盒子及旅行袋子
