Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier 42 mm – Two‑Tone Stainless Steel & 18K Yellow Gold – Automatic

The Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier 42 mm (Ref. W69009Z3) is one of Cartier’s most recognizable and elegant designs, blending classic French watchmaking with a distinctive rounded case and luxurious two‑tone construction.

This model features a silvered guilloché dial with bold black Roman numerals, classic blued‑steel sword‑shaped hands, and an oval date window positioned at 3 o’clock. The dial is framed by Cartier’s signature integrated crown guard, which curves around the 18K yellow gold fluted crown set with a synthetic blue cabochon.

The rounded stainless steel case offers a smooth, pebble‑like profile, while the two‑tone bracelet combines stainless steel outer links with 18K yellow gold center links, maintaining the refined Ballon Bleu aesthetic. The bracelet shown in the image is wrapped in protective factory film.

Powered by an automatic mechanical movement, this 42 mm version delivers reliable performance while preserving Cartier’s timeless elegance.
