Designed to break the mould, the Cartier Ellipse reference 78091 is one of the most iconic watches ever created by the Parisian Maison. Launched in the 1970s, this model represents the perfect combination of art, mathematics and elegance, thanks to its famous elliptical case inspired by the proportions of the golden ratio. The 18-carat yellow gold case envelops a refined white dial, clean and balanced, enlivened by classic Roman numerals and elegant blue hands. An instantly recognisable aesthetic, designed to stand the test of time and remain timeless. Inside, the Cartier 78-1 hand-wound mechanical movement tells a story of watchmaking tradition, precision and savoir-faire, where every detail is the result of a conscious choice. It is a watch that invites you to slow down and experience time as a personal, everyday gesture. This Cartier Ellipse 78091 model is completely original and in good condition. It comes with a genuine black lizard leather strap with original 18k yellow gold buckle and is sold with a Cartier box and our 12-month warranty. A timepiece for those seeking authentic, discreet elegance deeply rooted in the history of fine watchmaking.
