The story of this extremely unique Panthère is a story of love. The consignor, looking for a special Cartier for his wife, was hoping to find something unique from the famed maison that she would love. He ended up acquiring this diamond and sapphire-set piece. Cartier has later produced other similar versions of Panthère pattern setting in onyx, but possibly none with the same shape and cabochon sapphire arrangement as seen on this timepiece. As a result, while it cannot be confirmed conclusively, this exclusive timepiece may be a unique creation from Cartier. The consignor's wife has since become a huge Cartier collector, and that passion for the brand all began with this rare and possibly unique timepiece.
