If you’re looking for a sleek, simple, and modern ladies’ watch that’s in a class of its own, then you need to look no further than the Cartier La Dona collection, a brand of timepieces designed with royalty in mind.  The Cartier La Dona W6400456 in particular is an inspired choice with its vibrant band color and classic Roman numeral dial.

The La Dona W6400456 has a sassy burgundy alligator-print strap, appealing to the business woman looking for an edgy and adventurous accessory for her daily attire.  The prominent Roman numerals on the dial against the modern strap give the watch a “something old, something new” look, making it an interesting timepiece to accent casual clothing, as well.  The 18k rose gold case as the bezel gives the Cartier La Dona W6400456 a refined look adding a nice balance to the burgundy, white, and black ensemble.

Pros:  The internationally renowned reputation of Cartier La Donna watches alone is enough to turn heads, but the crafty features that the La Dona W6400456 comes with make this watch more than just a time relic.

• With a silver-grained dial, octagonal rose gold crown set frame, blue sword-shaped hands, and the sapphire scratch-resistant crystal, the La Dona W6400456 is crafted with finest materials.
• The mid-sized ladies watch provides comfort with it’s leather strap and well as style with the modern trend of a gradually larger dial to accent a delicate wrist.  The aesthetic for the watch make it appealing for a business or casual setting.
• If the legacy of the Cartier brand isn’t enough, the battery operated Cartier Calibre 690 Quartz Movement and water resistant up to 100 feet feature is enough substance to qualify the La Dona W6400456 as a quality investment.

Cons:  The biggest drawback to the Cartier La Dona W6400456 is its price and potentially the bold color choice if burgundy is not your style.

• If pink is more your color, then the Cartier Santos 100 Watch w20126x8 is a great alternative, as it has the same Roman numeral dial with sword shaped hands, only it has a pink alligator strap.
• Valued at $10,400, this Cartier watch is a considerable investment  for business and casual use.  Consider it a steal if you can find it one sale.

The Final Word:  While the Cartier La Dona W6400456 Women’s Watch is more than I would pay for a trendy leather watch, hunting down this watch while it is on sale is definitely worth the effort.  When choosing a watch to accent your wrist on a daily basis, why would you settle for anything less than the best?
