The Panthère Jewelry – Pasha de Cartier Skeleton Ref. HPI01359 unites a diamond-set panther with skeletonized mechanics in radiant yellow gold.
A bold reinterpretation of Cartier’s most iconic symbol, the Panthère Jewelry Watch – Pasha de Cartier Skeleton with Panther Decor Ref. HPI01359 is a masterstroke in mechanical artistry and high jewelry. More than a timepiece, it’s a story told in diamonds, gold, and movement, one where the majesty of the panther is captured within an openworked dial, transforming a horological complication into a wearable sculpture. It’s a rare blend of instinct and refinement, designed for collectors who seek watches that speak in form, emotion, and craftsmanship.
Encased in 18K yellow gold (750/1000), the 41 mm round case is at once commanding and luminous. Polished to a warm glow, the gold surface creates the perfect contrast to the intricate skeletonized dial within. Surrounding the case is a diamond-set bezel, featuring 45 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 2.05 carats, bringing radiant energy to the entire silhouette. The crown is topped with a 0.36-carat brilliant-cut diamond, while the sapphire crystal glass ensures lasting clarity and scratch resistance. At 9.9 mm thick and water-resistant to 3 bar (30 meters), the piece maintains a refined, everyday wearability despite its ornate craftsmanship.
The true showstopper lies within the dial. Here, the skeletonized movement forms the body of the Cartier panther, brought to life in yellow gold and set with 341 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.67 carats. With emerald marquise-cut eyes and a striking onyx nose, the feline figure prowls across the dial, bold yet graceful. Its presence is arresting, a perfect representation of Cartier’s artistic identity. Golden steel diamond-shaped hands sweep over this architectural display, ensuring time can be read without interrupting the visual experience. The openwork format doesn’t just reveal time — it reveals soul.
Inside beats the Cartier Manufacture Caliber 9625 MC, a manual-winding mechanical movement designed and assembled in-house. Tailored for purists, this caliber reflects a return to the intimacy of traditional watchmaking, where winding the crown becomes a daily ritual. Its form was built not only for performance, but to integrate seamlessly with the dial’s design. The result? A movement that is both structural and sculptural, fusing utility with narrative in a way only Cartier can.
The watch comes with two interchangeable straps for varied styling: a semi-matte black calfskin strap and a shiny black alligator leather strap. Both are rich in texture and contour beautifully to the wrist, ensuring comfort without compromising luxury. Secured with an 18K yellow gold ardillon buckle, set with 46 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.29 carats, every detail continues the theme of elegance down to the final clasp.
These strap options allow for seamless transitions between formal events and more relaxed moments, while always keeping the spotlight on the watch’s dramatic core.
Though not part of the Cartier Privé Collection, this creation sits firmly within the realm of Cartier’s High Jewelry Watchmaking. It embodies the same rare spirit and exclusivity, merging the Maison’s two greatest strengths: horological ingenuity and jewelry savoir-faire. It is a celebration of form, balance, and creative freedom, a collector’s dream that transcends category or trend.
