The round and feminine elegance of a vintage Cartier watch
This vintage Must Cartier Colisée watch from the 1990s is a model of grace and discretion. Its round case in vermeil, its characteristic gadrooned lugs, and its white dial with Roman numerals in black create a timeless dress watch, in the purest tradition of Cartier elegance. The blued sword hands and the “must de Cartier” signature complete this picture of absolute refinement.
The Must de Cartier line, launched in 1977, made the maison’s universe more accessible by offering its creations in vermeil — gold-plated sterling silver 925 — rather than in solid gold. The Colisée model, with its pure round case and finely crafted lugs, is one of the most delicate silhouettes in the collection.
Powered by the Cartier quartz caliber 690, it combines reliability with ease of use. Its crown set with a blue cabochon is one of the maison’s immediately recognizable signatures. With its 24 mm case and refined slenderness (5.5 mm), it is an ideal feminine watch for slim wrists, elegant for both everyday wear and evening occasions.
This piece comes with its original Cartier papers, a precious asset that attests to its authenticity and history.
Three points to note:
- Case round case in vermeil (gold-plated 925 sterling silver), white dial with Roman numerals and cabochon crown.
- Cartier quartz caliber 690, delivered with its original Cartier papers.
- The vermeil shows slight wear to the plating in places (lugs, bezel), evidence of age (see condition and photos).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Must of Cartier Colisée?
Colisée is a round model from the Must line of Cartier, introduced in the 1980s-90s. Recognizable by its pure circular case and gadrooned lugs, it is one of the maison's most delicate dress watches, highly prized for its feminine elegance and restrained proportions.
What is vermeil?
Vermeil is sterling silver (925) coated with a layer of gold (here 20 microns). It offers the brilliance of gold while remaining more accessible than a solid gold piece. Over time, the plating may show slight wear, characteristic of vintage vermeil pieces.
Is this watch suitable for a small wrist?
Absolutely. With its 24 mm case and 5.5 mm thickness, the Colisée is ideal for slender wrists. Its round silhouette and clean dial make it an elegant dress watch, perfect for everyday wear as well as special occasions.
