Its design stems from the Santos, whose softened square shape and exposed screws it retains, but everything here is made more supple: the angles are rounded, the case middle is slimmed to \u003cstrong\u003e6.1mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the case blends into its bracelet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecream dial\u003c\/strong\u003e features black \u003cstrong\u003eRoman numerals\u003c\/strong\u003e arranged in a fan shape, a carrée railway minute track, and a \u003cstrong\u003edate window\u003c\/strong\u003e at three o’clock. The \u003cstrong\u003eblued steel sword hands\u003c\/strong\u003e and seconds hand cross it, and the \u003cstrong\u003esecret CARTIER signature\u003c\/strong\u003e is hidden within the numeral VII — one of the model’s classic authenticity checks, visible under magnification in our photographs. The octagonal crown is set with its \u003cstrong\u003eblue cabochon\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePanthère bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e is the true signature of this watch: five rows of brushed links, articulated so tightly that they flow over the wrist like fabric. This one is original, closes with a \u003cstrong\u003esigned Cartier Buckle folding clasp\u003c\/strong\u003e, and measures 17.5cm. The bezel and caseback are screwed down, in the period construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Panthère left the catalogue in the mid-2000s, before being relaunched in 2017 — but without a date window. This \u003cstrong\u003elarge steel model with date\u003c\/strong\u003e therefore no longer exists in boutiques: it can only be found in vintage. This example comes with its \u003cstrong\u003eCartier service papers\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003evintage Cartier presentation box\u003c\/strong\u003e — the trace of a documented visit to the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 40px 0 16px;\"\u003eThree points to note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding-left: 16px; border-left: 1px solid #e2ddd5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 4px; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0.1em; opacity: 0.45;\"\u003e01\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge model with date\u003c\/strong\u003e — the configuration that the Panthère relaunched in 2017 no longer offers, in the largest size of the original line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 4px; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0.1em; opacity: 0.45;\"\u003e02\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Panthère bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e — five rows as supple as fabric, signed Cartier Buckle folding clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 4px; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0.1em; opacity: 0.45;\"\u003e03\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartier service papers and presentation box\u003c\/strong\u003e — a service documented by the house in 2003, with a vintage Cartier presentation box included with the watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 40px 0 16px;\"\u003eWhy choose a vintage Cartier Panthère?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003epre-owned Cartier watch\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a precise place among \u003cstrong\u003evintage men’s and women’s watches\u003c\/strong\u003e  : its 29mm case with a 40mm Lug-to-lug makes it the most substantial Panthère on the wrist, in a register that ranges from tailoring to jeans.

It embodied the house throughout the 1980s and 1990s before leaving the catalogue, then being reissued in 2017 in a redesigned version.

It is the one that comes closest to a classic watch format on the wrist, and the only one that comfortably accommodates the date window at three o’clock. The 2017 reissue offers no equivalent with a date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the secret signature?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn Cartier dials, the house name is concealed in microscopic characters within one of the Roman numerals — here in the VII. This detail, invisible to the naked eye, is one of the model’s classic authenticity checks: it requires a fineness of printing that counterfeit pieces reproduce poorly. On this example, the signature is clearly visible under magnification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are Cartier service papers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are the documents issued by Cartier during servicing carried out by the house — here, a visit to atelier Cartier in 2003, during which the watch was polished by its own artisans. They attest that the piece passed through the hands of the Cartier service department, which works only on authentic watches. Combined with our invoice serving as a certificate, they document its history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 29mm wide, 40mm Lug-to-lug, and 6.1mm thick, it suits wrists of approximately 15 to 17cm, with the original bracelet closing at 17.5cm — a guide, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its slimness allows it to slip under any cuff, and its supple bracelet hugs the wrist without play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Cartier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54667019780433,"sku":"002398","price":1.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/cartier-panthere-130000c-grand-modele-quartz-cadran-creme-1990s-atelier-victor-1.jpg?v=1788389654","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/cartier-must-colisee-watch-130000c-large-model-quartz-cream-dial-1990s","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
