An extraordinary expression of Cartier's haute horlogerie craftsmanship, the Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon Skeleton is a remarkable timepiece that combines avant-garde mechanical engineering with sophisticated design. Crafted in 18K rose gold, this exceptional 47 mm model features a striking skeletonized dial with bridges shaped into Roman numerals, showcasing the intricate mechanics of Cartier's Manufacture calibre 9461 MC. The elegant gold-finish sword-shaped hands, semi-matte gray alligator-leather strap, and distinctive rose gold crown set with a sapphire cabochon complete its refined and unmistakable aesthetic.
At the heart of this exceptional timepiece is the Manufacture mechanical movement with manual winding, calibre 9461 MC, featuring Cartier's innovative Astrotourbillon complication.

The 47 mm 18K rose gold case measures 14.9 mm in thickness and is protected by sapphire crystal on both the front and case back, allowing the intricate movement to be admired from multiple angles. The watch is paired with a semi-matte gray alligator-leather strap and a double adjustable folding buckle in 18K rose gold. With water resistance of 3 bar, approximately 30 metres, the timepiece balances exceptional technical sophistication with luxurious materials and distinctive design.
Produced as a highly exclusive limited edition of just 30 individually numbered pieces, the Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon Skeleton represents a remarkable achievement in Cartier Fine Watchmaking.
