Cartier Cougar Gold & Steel GM Full Set Ref 187904 from 1996

A beautifully preserved Cartier Cougar GM Ref. 187904 in the classic combination of gold and stainless steel, presented as a desirable full set from 1996. With its generous 33 mm proportions, elegant Roman numeral dial and complete period provenance, this is a particularly attractive example of 1990s Cartier.

The 33 mm GM case combines stainless steel with warm gold details, giving the Cougar its distinctive two-tone appearance. Its rounded architecture offers a softer alternative to the angular Santos and Tank while remaining unmistakably Cartier.

The clean white dial features classic black Roman numerals, elegant blued steel hands and a practical date window at 3 o’clock. Cartier’s signature blue sapphire cabochon crown provides the perfect finishing touch, while the sapphire crystal offers excellent clarity and durability.

Inside is the reliable Cartier Calibre 87 quartz movement, combining precision and ease of use with the refined styling expected from the Maison.

The watch is fitted with a handmade Belgian leather strap and, importantly, comes with an original Cartier steel deployant folding buckle.

What makes this example particularly appealing is its provenance. The watch is presented as a full set from 1996, accompanied by its original Cartier box together with the original Cartier paperwork and certificate.
