Cartier Baignoire ref WGBA0025 in 18k yellow gold, full set, like new

In the horological realm, where timepieces become artifacts of history, the Cartier Baignoire emerges as a captivating narrative. Its genesis can be traced back to an design bestowed upon Russian Grand Duchess Pavlovna by the visionary Louis Cartier in 1912. However, it wasn't until 1957 that this exquisite creation embraced the limelight, christened with the evocative ‘baignoire’ moniker - a nod to its graceful contours reminiscent of a bathtub. This Baignoire bangle reference WGBA0025 was quietly released at Watches & Wonders 2024 as a larger sibling to the “mini” Baignoire bangle that was released a year earlier. While the “mini” is clearly constructed for women, this larger sized Baignoire is a true unisex watch with its much larger case size. 

Drawing inspiration from the traditional round watch archetype, the Baignoire artfully stretches and curves, crafting a silhouette that exudes elegance. With a solid gold bangle bracelet discreetly constructed along with the case, the Baignoire achieves the illusion of a watch floating atop the wrist. If you flip the watch on your wrist, it can be worn as a bracelet! Cased in 18k yellow gold and measuring a refined 31.5 x 23 mm, this Baignoire from the current Cartier collection is actually slightly larger than the vintage Baignoire. This is the ultimate unisex watch as its size means that it can be easily be worn by both men and women. 

This Cartier Baignoire reference WGBA0025 in yellow gold is in like new condition. It was only worn only a couple of times by the previous owner and is in pristine condition. It comes as a full set with its Cartier Care warranty still valid for another 8 years (until November 2032). The watch is a size 16 which can fit up to a 16.5cm wrist size. 

The watch was purchased at the Cartier Ginza boutique in Tokyo, Japan.
