Cartier Panthère Ronde Vendôme Factory Diamond Set – 18K Yellow Gold, 1990 – Ref. 66920 Quartz PM – With Box
We are delighted to present this exceptional Cartier Panthère Ronde Vendôme, Ref. 66920, dating to 1990—an elegant and increasingly collectible expression of Cartier’s timeless design language, elevated by a factory diamond-set case and preserved in remarkable, near-new condition.
This watch was acquired directly from the family of the original owners, who purchased it in 1990 and wore it only sparingly. As a result, the condition is truly outstanding—best described as a genuine time capsule. For a piece now over 35 years old, it remains astonishingly fresh and crisp.
Heritage & Design
The Panthère line is one of Cartier’s most iconic creations, celebrated for its refined proportions, effortless elegance, and unmistakable Parisian flair. The Ronde Vendôme variant adds a classic round case inspired by the historic Place Vendôme, offering a softer and more traditional silhouette while retaining the unmistakable Cartier DNA.
This example is crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and features a factory diamond setting with two rows: one elegantly framing the bezel and a second row set into the case itself. The result is a watch that feels luxurious yet tasteful—never excessive, always sophisticated.
The crisp white Cartier dial, paired with blued hands and a blue sapphire cabochon crown, delivers the brand’s signature aesthetic: timeless, balanced, and instantly recognizable.
