Panthère de Cartier Watch
Louis Cartier commissioned the George Barbier painting Woman with a Panther in 1914, and it wasn’t long before he transferred his admiration of Barbier’s cat to a wristwatch embellished with onyx and diamonds. Fast-forward to 2017, when the house leaned in on the theme by introducing a comprehensive Panthère de Cartier watch collection, and eight years later, it’s among the brand’s most popular watch groupings.
Today’s Panthère watches are available in a variety of metals and often embellished with diamonds or, in the case of one high-wattage 2025 debut, a mix of gemstones with diamonds. But it’s possible to secure a Panthère de Cartier watch for less than $5,000, including this small-model style crafted with a 23mm x 30mm steel case with steel bracelet.
