Catalogue note
Originally introduced in 1973 as part of the premier Louis Cartier Collection, the Cartier Ellipse underscores the Maison's legacy as the definitive creator of unorthodox, shaped horology. Straying from traditional round designs, its stepped golden case utilizes an ingenious hidden-lug architecture that allows the leather brand to anchor directly into the frame. The example pictured represents a highly collectible variation prized for its unisex dimensions and pure timeless aesthetic DNA.
