FS: Cartier 18k Ceinture XL Automatique | Rare | 31mm | Paris Dial | Ref: 17001

[Highendtime]

Launched first in 1927 and re-released in 1970, this is the rarest iteration, the ever-elusive, difficult to find 31mm Cartier Ceinture XL powered by an automatic movement nestled within its bubble back case and with a perfect Paris dial.

Different in design from Cartier’s usual aesthetic, the winding crown, usually a signature element set with Cartier’s blue sapphire, is flat here and held within a slot in the watch bezel that Cartier called remontoir imperdable (“captive winding”).

Arguably the best Ceinture XL I have ever seen and in its rarest iteration - all original, perfect Paris dial, unpolished and in excellent condition. With prices for its elder brother, the Cristallor, now touching the stratosphere, we believe that this is one of the more investable Louis Cartier models at the moment.
