With only twenty watches created, the Rotonde Panther is an exquisite piece of Cartier artwork. The signature panther logo is created for the face by soldering over 3,000 gold balls together.
Cartier has of course adapted this style in their own unique way to suit modern tastes and has thus created one of the most stunning pieces in their Cartier d’Art line. The panther has been created using tiny gold balls; each 22k gold ball is hand applied one at a time to create the picture. The balls are cut from a string, heated and then fused to the watch base to provide a multidimensional textural masterpiece.
It takes approximately 2 months to create one timepiece and the list price for this work of art, with a total weight of 3.63 carats, is $260,000.
Watch the manufacturing of this master peace.
