Tortue

This certified pre-owned Cartier Tortue LM W1536851 is an exceptional representation of Cartier’s early 20th-century watchmaking mastery. Introduced in 1912, the Tortue (“turtle”) is one of the Maison’s most iconic shaped watches, distinguished by its curved, tonneau-style case and unmistakably elegant proportions. This Large Model version preserves the spirit of Cartier’s classic design codes while offering a refined presence on the wrist.

Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the Tortue LM exudes timeless refinement, complemented by Cartier’s signature silvered dial with Roman numerals, blued sword hands and a chemin-de-fer minute track. The manual-winding movement inside reflects Cartier’s heritage of traditional watchmaking and offers reliable, precise performance for daily wear.

This example is presented in good overall condition. Light scratches are visible on the crystal under certain angles, but they are not noticeable to the naked eye during normal use. The case and dial remain well preserved, contributing to the watch’s elegant appearance and strong presence on the wrist. This piece is offered without its original box and papers, but its authenticity and functional integrity have been verified.

With its harmonious shape, precious materials and unmistakable Cartier identity, the Tortue LM W1536851 is a standout choice for collectors seeking a refined pre-owned luxury watch with enduring appeal.
