CARTIER Colisée watch, ref. 2937, serial no. 8810XX, from the 1990s. Circular 18k yellow gold case with crossbars and a wide, rounded, polished bezel. Screw-down 18k gold case back with the brand’s inscriptions and hallmarks. Cream-colored dial signed Cartier, with black Roman numerals and blue-blued steel sword-shaped hands. No seconds hand. Fluted gold-plated crown, topped with a blue cabochon. Matching dark green leather strap with a gold-plated buckle. Flat sapphire crystal. Swiss quartz movement, Cartier Caliber 81. Not functioning; requires a battery replacement and servicing. One of the screws on the case back shows wear in the slot. Personal inscription engraved on the case back: “8.8.92 Martin.” Measurements: 31 x 23 mm (excluding the crown). With its understated proportions and soft contours, the Colisée model combines timekeeping functionality with a distinctively jewel-like design. The wide gold bezel frames the dial, while the crosswise lugs, connected to the case by curved elements, lend the watch a distinctive character. The Roman numerals, blue hands, and cabochon-set crown bring together some of the most recognizable elements of Cartier’s design language. The dark green strap introduces a chromatic contrast that enhances the warmth of the gold and reinforces the elegance of its design. In the description of the watches, when it states “it works,” it means that the watch is functioning. Since collector’s watches typically have delicate and complex mechanisms, the buyer is responsible for any general servicing, inspection, battery replacement, adjustment, or repair that may be necessary. We do not guarantee the perfect functioning of any watch. All photographs of our watches are original and have been taken by our photographers; in other words, we do not use stock photography, which is why the photographs are considered part of the listing.
