CA Top Quality Replica Cartier 1990s Tonneau In Platinum Watches
Speaking of perfect replica Cartier, there will be a ton of focus on lot 33, a 1970s Coussin in white gold. This model has been breaking records over the past couple of years. The watch in yellow gold to hammering all-in at Bonham’s this past June. During the wild ride, an example of the much rarer white gold variant has not come up for sale. Expect lot 33 to break a record estimate.
My attention will be focused 50 lots later, though. While the market spotlight has been generally on vintage best fake Cartier recently, the Tonneau has not been caught up in the storm quite as much as other models. Especially considering this is one of Cartier’s first wristwatch designs, introduced in 1906, and abnormally large in size, this lack of market appreciation has surprised me. Some collectors are starting to catch on. For example, a 1920s Tonneau in platinum with provenance sold Sotheby’s last June, and I have heard rumors of much higher offers being made to the new owner following that sale. But these 1980s and 1990s AAA copy Cartier Tonneau watches have been flying under the radar all summer. A yellow gold example sold on Loupe This in May – that’s a great buy.
Two recent results have me calling my shot here in lot 83. At Phillips Geneva online last month, a 2000’s CPCP luxury replica Cartier Tonneau in platinum miss below beating the high estimate. And this funky Tonneau Bamboo went crazy at Sotheby’s Hong Kong a few weeks ago, selling for all-in – for a watch with a quartz movement! All this to say, cheap super clone Cartier collectors continue to search for new shapes and oddballs within the brand’s history. The Tonneau has been slept on for too long. It has a heritage dating back to 1906, and these 1980s to 1990s re-releases blend a vintage look with modern build quality extremely well.
CA Swiss Replica Cartier Baignoire ref. 78094
There is no shortage of treasures on Johnson’s page, but I particularly like this high quality replica Cartier Baignoire, which packs so much into a single piece: the radiant guilloche pattern on the dial, the sapphires set along the outer track, and two layers of diamonds on the bezel.
