Cartier Rotonde Skeleton Double Tourbillon

Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Skeleton Mysterious Double Tourbillon Overview

The Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Skeleton Mysterious Double Tourbillon stands among the most extraordinary haute horlogerie creations ever produced by the Maison. Designed to highlight the poetry of mechanical motion, it features the brand’s iconic Double Mysterious Tourbillon—a breathtaking complication that appears to defy gravity. This timepiece embodies Cartier’s fusion of artistic creativity, architectural lines, and world-class technical innovation.

18K Rose Gold Case & Signature Cartier Aesthetics

The watch features a 45 mm case with a thickness of 12.4 mm, crafted entirely from 18K rose gold. Every surface—from lugs to bezel—undergoes meticulous mirror polishing, resulting in a radiant and sculptural appearance. Completing the signature Cartier look, the fluted crown is topped with a cabochon-cut blue sapphire, a defining hallmark of the brand’s design language.

The Double Mysterious Tourbillon at 6 o’clock

At the heart of the timepiece lies its most mesmerizing element—the Double Mysterious Tourbillon. Mounted on a sapphire crystal disc, the tourbillon cage completes a full rotation every 60 seconds. Meanwhile, the transparent disc itself rotates once every five minutes, creating the illusion of a tourbillon that floats freely in midair without visible mechanical connection. This display is one of Cartier’s most celebrated achievements in watchmaking.

Openworked Roman Numeral Dial

The openworked dial amplifies the ethereal visual effect, with rose gold bridges meticulously sculpted into Roman numerals. These bridges form the dial structure itself, combining legibility with architectural precision. At 12 o’clock, elegant blued-steel sword-shaped hands display the hours and minutes.

Caliber 9465 MC – Cartier’s Haute Horlogerie Engine

Powering the watch is the hand-wound Caliber 9465 MC, operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offering a 52-hour power reserve. Seen through the sapphire caseback, the movement showcases meticulous finishing, a beautifully arranged gear train, and the signature Mysterious Tourbillon system.

Limited Edition & Strap

The timepiece is paired with a luxurious alligator leather strap, secured by a rose gold folding clasp. Production is strictly limited to 50 pieces, making it a rare collectible for dedicated enthusiasts.
