Cartier French Romance on the Wrist | Cartier CPCP Tonneau 18K Rose Gold Watch | Watch Only, Serviced Tonneau (CPCP)

The CPCP collection occupies a unique and revered place in Cartier’s watchmaking legacy. Launched in 1998, the line revisited Cartier’s century-long watchmaking archive, selecting timeless historic designs. Partnering with elite Swiss movement makers, Cartier breathed new life into these heritage pieces through refined haute horlogerie craftsmanship. This Tonneau is one such elegant creation.

The Tonneau is Cartier’s second-oldest watch model, debuting in 1906. At a time when round watches dominated the market, Cartier sculpted a graceful barrel-shaped form with soft geometric curves — fuller at the centre and tapering at both ends — pioneering a distinctive case aesthetic. This compact Tonneau faithfully carries forward that century-old heritage. The warm hue of 18K rose gold complements the case’s fluid silhouette, embodying effortless French elegance.

It is fitted with the later CPCP standard Cal.9770 MC manual-wind movement, based on Jaeger-LeCoultre’s iconic ultra-thin Cal.849. Its slim architecture fits seamlessly within the contoured barrel-shaped case, making it one of the most sought-after vintage manual calibres among CPCP collectors. The watch has been fully serviced by Nicky Sir, running excellently. It comes with a 12-month service warranty from our workshop.
