With its understated proportions and soft contours, the Colisée model combines timekeeping functionality with a distinctively jewel-like design. The wide gold bezel frames the dial, while the crosswise lugs, connected to the case by curved elements, lend the watch a distinctive character. The Roman numerals, blue hands, and cabochon-set crown bring together some of the most recognizable elements of Cartier’s design language. The dark green strap introduces a chromatic contrast that enhances the warmth of the gold and reinforces the elegance of its design.

In the description of the watches, when it states “it works,” it means that the watch is functioning. Since collector’s watches typically have delicate and complex mechanisms, the buyer is responsible for any general servicing, inspection, battery replacement, adjustment, or repair that may be necessary. We do not guarantee the perfect functioning of any watch. All photographs of our watches are original and have been taken by our photographers; in other words, we do not use stock photography, which is why the photographs are considered part of the listing.
