The Cartier La Dona de Cartier watch is a strikingly designed extravagant watch that illuminates the exotic preferences of a brilliant film star as well as the mastery of opulent design and first-rate craftsmanship - two facets practically synonymous with the house of Cartier.
A tribute to the sensual Mexican actress and Cartier patron Maria Felix, the La Dona de Cartier watch is modeled after the magnificent necklace which the star commissioned from Cartier after a trip to the Paris boutique in 1975 -- accompanying her on this visit was a live baby crocodile, which the flamboyant actress requested be a model for a stunningly unique piece of extravagant jewelry. The end result was a remarkable masterwork of the jeweler's art and a uniquely personal homage to a luminous personality.
Akin to the first Cartier necklace made famous by Maria Felix, the La Dona de Cartier watch evokes a sensuality which is inspired by the exotic form and wild reptilian savagery of the crocodile. Supple, fluid, and unique, the interlocking bracelet links display superlative finish and flow harmoniously to present an exceptional comfort on the wrist, as well as a stunningly fashionable presence. The trapeze-shaped case excites with its asymmetric form, counterbalancing the traditional details of the elegant Roman numeral dial, with its silver sun-pattern embellishment, and blued steel sword hands.
The Cartier La Dona de Cartier watch is offered in both small and large sizes, and is available in 18K yellow, white, or pink gold, as well as stainless steel. Superb diamond-set versions, as well as those with full pave setting reveal the enviable proficiency of Cartier's master jewelers, while versions with alligator straps and delicately crafted deployant clasps are ideal for those who yearn for the charisma of this luxury watch, but prefer maximal subtlety. The singular, glamorous elegance of this contemporary Cartier classic is therefore tailored to the widest array of expressive preferences.
Fitted with a highly precise, battery-operated quartz movement, each Cartier La Dona de Cartier timepiece is a beautifully reliable timekeeper. As is the case with each Cartier watch, the La Dona de Cartier is fitted with an extremely hard crystal crafted from synthetic sapphire. All models are water resistant to 30 meters.
