A masterpiece of feline elegance. This Cartier Panthère 1925 Ladies Watch in solid K18 yellow gold—set with Cartier’s unmistakable diamonds—brings the house’s most iconic symbol to life. Fluid, sensual, and unmistakably powerful, the Panthère was created for women who move through the world with quiet authority. The warmth of 18K gold against the skin, the precision of Swiss engineering, and the brilliance of hand-selected stones unite in a timepiece that behaves more like high jewelry than a watch. This is not an accessory. This is a legacy piece.

💎Identity Story

For the woman who doesn’t need to announce her power—she simply enters the room, and the world adjusts. The Panthère is a symbol of instinct, intuition, and the grace of someone who knows exactly who she is. Wearing this watch feels like wearing confidence in gold.

A masterpiece born from Cartier’s legendary animalier tradition, the Panthère 1925 is one of the maison’s most enchanting and sculptural horological jewels.
This precious K18 yellow gold ladies’ timepiece wraps the wrist in a full pavé-set diamond panther head and bezel, accented with a mesmerizing emerald eye and curved silhouette inspired by 20th-century haute-joaillerie. Elegant, glamorous, and undeniably iconic, it captures the bold femininity and cinematic beauty Cartier is celebrated for.

The ivory crocodile strap softly complements the brilliance of the diamonds, while the gentle guilloché dial maintains Cartier’s classic restraint and balance. On the wrist, this Panthère feels more like a jewel than a watch—quietly powerful yet exquisitely sophisticated.

For collectors seeking the rare harmony of heritage craftsmanship, artistic identity, and jewellery-grade luxury, this is a standout addition to any Cartier curation.
