The Cartier Colisée in 18k yellow gold is a high-jewellery masterpiece disguised as a refined ladies’ wristwatch. Its 23 mm round case is surrounded by a pavé bezel, extending into a fully diamond-linked yellow-gold bracelet. The crisp white Roman numeral dial offers classic Cartier legibility under a sapphire crystal, while a factory-set diamond crown adds a final flourish. Driven by a precision quartz movement, this model embodies elegant luxury with no complications—colour, texture, and gem-setting do all the talking.

Vintage yet visibly radiant, this Colisée variant is rare in both execution and survival. It hails from Cartier’s high-end line of jewellery-watches from the late 1980s through the 1990s, during which such fully-set designs in yellow gold were produced sparingly. Its combination of precious metal, intense gem-setting, distinctive bracelet construction, and timeless Cartier dial treatment makes it a coveted piece among collectors who prize artisanal craftsmanship and subtle but unmistakable glamour.
