The legendary Jeanne Toussaint, who joined Cartier in 1913 and was the director of its high jewellery division from 1933 to 1970, inspired the introduction of the panther motif in Cartier’s jewellery designs. In honour of this phenomenal woman, Cartier introduced the Cartier Panthère watch collection in 1983. The Cartier Panthère wasn’t a completely new design. It took the familiar square case of the Cartier Santos and with a few subtle tweaks—a thinner bezel and delicate bezel screws, smaller crown, tapered lugs, and more rounded curves—a more sensuous and feminine watch was born. The real innovation, however, was the introduction of a new ultra-flexible five-link bracelet. The watch was named Panthère because the suppleness of the bracelet mirrors the graceful movements of Cartier’s emblematic animal This reference 883969 Panthère dates back to 1993 and is executed in an 18k yellow-gold case (measuring 27 x 37 mm), a factory-set diamond bezel, and a matching 18k yellow-gold Panthère bracelet with a hidden butterfly clasp. The lemon-coloured dial features exquisite factory-set brilliant-cut diamond indices and 18k yellow-gold sword hands. This beautiful Panthère is powered by a convenient quartz movement and comes as a full set with the original box and papers.
