introduced in 1973 as part of the revamped Louis Cartier collection, the Vendôme is an homage to the Parisian elegance of Place Vendôme, the historic square adjacent to Cartier’s flagship boutique. the Vendôme’s silhouette is defined by its circular bezel and unique “T-strap” shoulder lugs at the 6 and 12 o’clock positions, creating a distinctive “suspended” look where the leather strap appears to barely touch the case.

this 1990s version features a stepped bezel in white, pink, and yellow gold, a nod to Louis Cartier’s 1924 Trinity ring design, three interlocking tri-tone bands.
