The singular aesthetic of the vintage Panthère
Launched in 1983, Cartier's Panthère collection takes its name from its articulated bracelet, the fluidity of which is reminiscent of the feline's undulating movements. This second-hand watch illustrates the classic configuration of this watch line with its date positioned at 5 o'clock. Reference 839490 features a 27 mm stainless steel case topped by a solid 18-carat yellow gold bezel. The matt cream dial displays black Roman numerals, the secret signature concealed in the number VII and blued steel glaive hands.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The square case with its softened angles is sealed by 8 visible screws, guaranteeing the cohesion of the gold bezel. The octagonal crown is topped with a blue synthetic spinel cabochon. The two-tone bracelet features a row of polished 18-carat yellow gold, contrasting with the brushed steel. The whole is secured by a folding clasp concealed beneath the links for perfect visual continuity. The Swiss quartz movement ensures accurate time and date display.
Why this second-hand watch
Acquiring this pre-owned timepiece allows you to own a variant whose dial architecture is no longer offered by the manufacture. Contemporary 27 mm re-editions have abandoned the date window, making this generation particularly sought-after. The combination of steel and solid 18-carat gold provides an enduring aesthetic contrast, characteristic of the watchmaking productions of this decade.
