This timepiece is a very rare variant of the classic Cartier Cintrée design. It represents a masterful collaboration between the horological prowess of Vacheron Constantin and the haute joaillerie influence of Cartier. Presumed to be made in very small numbers, we only found one similar example, sans the pave dial, that was sold in April of this year at Sotheby's for 153,400 HKD. That example was in case number 156,778 while the present example is case number 156,782
