Incredibly unique and avant garde, the Delices De Cartier W8100011 ladies’ watch is a work of art to behold. There is nothing about this watch that is not special; from the fluid oval shape of the gold case to the satin strap this watch exudes elegance and audacity.

The oval case is made from solid 18 karat polished rose gold and there is also an 18 karat rose gold deployment buckle on the satin strap. The Delices de Cartier has a lacquered silvered dial set with the clean lines of black roman numerals which are angled in such a way that they flow with the oval shape of the case. The black hour and minute hands along with the Cartier logo are the only other things on the dial, giving it a clean and

Unique and captivating.

uncluttered look which contributes to the overall grace of the watch. The satin band is very feminine and its muted shiny gold-beige ‘toile brosse’ color is the perfect complement to the lovely polished rose gold case. The strap is also adjustable.

This Cartier watch comes with all of the high-end standards to be expected with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal dial window, battery operated quartz Cartier caliber 157 movement and is water resistant to 100 feet or 30 meters.

In addition to the very distinctive look this watch gives at first glance, the Delices de Cartier offers some very special small details making it even more distinguished. Most notably it has an 18 karat rose gold fluted crown which is set with a beautiful blue Cabochon sapphire. This is a small detail, which may go almost unnoticed at first glance, but will certainly be appreciated by the owner of this watch as that extra little touch of luxury making it a beauty to behold. The blue sapphire is so much more unique than the diamonds which most luxury watches include, making this watch truly one of a kind.

The Delices de Cartier collection all have the same unique oval shaped case and come with variations such as metal bands, a silver satin band instead of the gold-beige or with diamond studded bezels. The W8100011 is also a larger model with a slightly larger case than similar models of its kind, making it stand out just a bit more. This luxury watch is bold in its uniqueness yet discrete enough to be gracefully feminine.

Pros: 

• Very unique

Cons:
