42 mm Case – Designed for Presence
Measuring 42 mm, this model offers a bold, confident presence on the wrist while retaining the gentle curved lines that define the Ballon Bleu silhouette.

18K Rose Gold Case – Warm and Luxurious
The case is crafted in solid 18K rose gold, reinforcing Cartier’s dedication to the finest materials. The warm tone of rose gold complements the watch’s character beautifully, while its polished brilliance ensures radiant visual appeal and a luxurious feel worthy of the house of Cartier.
Diamond-Set Case – 126 Brilliant-Cut Diamonds
One of the most striking features of the Ref. WE900851 is its diamond setting. The case is adorned with 126 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 1.84 carats, each selected and set with precision. This exquisite gem-setting elevates the watch into the world of high jewelry timepieces, offering undeniable presence and sparkle from every angle.
Fluted Crown with Cabochon Sapphire – Cartier’s Signature
The crown features the brand’s iconic design: a fluted crown set with a cabochon-shaped sapphire, seamlessly integrated into the side profile. This detail adds depth and subtle color contrast while maintaining the distinctive floating crown aesthetic exclusive to Ballon Bleu de Cartier.
Silvered Opaline Guilloché Dial – Rich Texture and Refinement
The dial showcases a silvered opaline guilloché finish with a lacquered coating, displaying intricate radiating textures that catch and reflect light beautifully. Classic Roman numerals and sword-shaped blued-steel hands contribute to Cartier’s unmistakable dial identity, enhancing both readability and visual sophistication.
Automatic Movement – Caliber 1847 MC
Powering the watch is Cartier’s automatic mechanical movement, the 1847 MC, known for its stability and reliability. The watch features self-winding functionality, eliminating the need for manual winding while preserving traditional mechanical engineering. A calendar date window at 3 o’clock enhances everyday practicality without disrupting the dial’s symmetry.
Sapphire Crystal – Tough and Transparent
Protection comes from a high-clarity sapphire crystal, renowned for its scratch resistance and durability. This ensures that the dial remains pristine over years of wear while providing a flawless view of the intricate detailing beneath.
Purple Patent Alligator Strap – Bold and Elegant
The watch is paired with a deep purple patent alligator leather strap, offering a bold and luxurious contrast against the warm rose gold case. The strap is secured with a double adjustable folding clasp in 18K rose gold, combining comfort, sophistication, and security for daily or evening wear.
