The Drop That Makes the Difference: Cartier Ballon Bleu in Rose Gold and Diamonds
Most Cartier watches come in square or rectangular cases. But the Cartier Ballon Bleu stands out with its smooth, round shape. This elegant ladies’ watch blends classic style with modern beauty.
Its most eye-catching feature is the fluted crown, topped with a cabochon-cut sapphire. This gem is polished into a smooth, rounded shape that looks like a drop of water. It’s a small detail that adds charm and gives the watch its name — Ballon Bleu, or Blue Balloon.
The case and dial are made of 18k rose gold. The bezel holds 47 brilliant-cut diamonds, weighing about 0.68 carats in total. The case size is 33mm, making it a perfect fit for everyday elegance.
Inside, a self-winding mechanical movement powers the watch. The sword-shaped hands in blued steel glide over classic Roman numerals. It comes with a rose gold bracelet that you can easily swap out for a different look.
This Cartier Ballon Bleu model costs around €26,000.
