Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Platinum – Flying Tourbillon – Perpetual Calendar – Full Set

Description
Offered for sale is one of the most fascinating Haute Horlogerie creations ever produced by Cartier: the Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire in 950 platinum. This extraordinary timepiece combines two of the most sophisticated complications in traditional watchmaking—a flying tourbillon and a perpetual calendar—displayed through the unique circular calendar layout for which this model has become renowned worldwide.

Rather than using conventional sub-dials, Cartier developed an entirely new approach to displaying the perpetual calendar. The day, date, month, and leap-year cycle are arranged concentrically around the central tourbillon, creating a remarkably harmonious and visually captivating composition. The flying tourbillon itself occupies the center of the dial, adding exceptional depth and a striking three-dimensional appearance.

The galvanized guilloché dial, complemented by a silvered chapter ring, classic Roman numerals, and blued steel sword-shaped hands, perfectly embodies Cartier's unmistakable design language. The solid 950 platinum case further enhances the exclusivity of this reference with its substantial weight and understated elegance.

At its heart beats the fully in-house developed Cartier Manufacture Calibre 9459 MC, an automatic high-complication movement consisting of 382 individual components and 51 jewels, incorporating both a flying tourbillon and a perpetual calendar. The movement is also distinguished by the prestigious Poinçon de Genève (Geneva Seal), one of the highest certifications of quality and finishing in Swiss Haute Horlogerie.

The beautifully hand-finished movement, with its finely decorated bridges and components, can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back.

The watch is in excellent overall condition and is offered as a complete Full Set, including the original Cartier presentation box and warranty papers.
