Cartier Crash — 18K Yellow Gold, Silver Dial, Roman Numerals & Purple Alligator Strap, Women

The Cartier Crash in 18-karat yellow gold is the most audacious, surrealist, and collectible wristwatch in the entire Cartier canon — a case form of deliberately distorted, organically melted asymmetry that appears to have been caught mid-deformation, its undulating golden outline defying every convention of watchcase geometry with an artistic confidence that places the Crash firmly in the tradition of Dali and the surrealist avant-garde. Originally created in London in 1967, the Crash remains one of the rarest and most coveted Cartier references of any era, produced in strictly limited numbers across its entire history. The silver-white dial adapts its chapter ring to the irregular case outline with remarkable elegance, bold black Roman numerals in Cartier’s signature elongated typeface radiating outward from the central chapter medallion. A polished blue sapphire cabochon crown. Supple purple alligator-leather strap. Manual-wind movement.
