Louis Cartier created the Tortue in 1912, drawing inspiration from the animal of the same name. From its very first appearance, this watch established itself as a true aesthetic success and perfectly embodied Cartier’s avant-garde spirit. Our version, reissued in a limited number in the 2000s, remains among the most sought-after models of the Maison, as it has not been reissued since. This watch does not appear in Cartier’s traditional catalogue and is now virtually impossible to find.
