Always ahead of its time and eager to experiment with innovative shapes, Cartier gave birth to the Gouvernail or “The Helm”, named this way for its design similar to a ship’s wheel. The present “timone” is even more special compared to some of its siblings, not only for the quality of the two-body yellow-gold case with T-bar lugs made by Jaeger, extremely well preserved in all its components, but mainly for the unusual 4 rounded outer points. The white dial is perfectly geometric with painted Roman numerals indexes, out minute track and blued steel Breguet hands still maintains a light and clean color presenting no evident signs of age. This very watch is even more important since is one of the very few Helm model made in London. Estimate € 60000 - 120000
