Cartier Cartier Ballon Bleu WSBB0025

The Ballon Bleu de Cartier in steel with a blue dial is one of the most recognizable modern Cartier designs. Its rounded case curves and the crown guard, with a cabochon-shaped synthetic spinel set in the fluted crown, give it a look that no other watch shares. This reference, WSBB0025, is the 42 mm automatic with a blue dial. It is a good choice for anyone who wants a dressy watch with real presence.

The round stainless steel case measures 42 mm in diameter and 13 mm thick. It has a smooth steel bezel and a sapphire crystal. The blue dial has a guilloche pattern, Roman numerals, sword-shaped hands and a date window at 3 o'clock. Inside is Cartier's manufacture automatic movement, and the watch is water resistant to 3 bar (about 30 meters). It sits on a blue alligator-skin strap with a steel double adjustable folding buckle.

This example dates to 2019 and is offered pre-owned. It comes with the Cartier box and papers, as shown in the photos.
