Cartier produced two versions of the watch.

One version comes in platinum and Roman numerals on the dial. However, the second one is a sleeker form forged out of rose gold and has no indexes on its dial.

And here we will be discussing the rose gold Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Perpetual Calendar version.

• The Astrocalendaire from the Rotonde de Cartier collection features a 45mm case diameter and thickness of about 15.1mm.
• Such a case size was required to house the Calibre 9459 MC movement.
• And this movement further consists of two exclusive complications – a perpetual calendar and a flying tourbillon.

You can find this combination pretty much in “Haute-Horlogerie”. However, what makes the Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Perpetual Calendar unique is that its perpetual calendar display provided by the brand.

A Unique Perpetual Calendar

The most significant component in the Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Perpetual Calendar is the flying tourbillon. A multi-tier display surrounds it for the perpetual calendar.

Overall, the watch looks like the flying tourbillon is resting in the middle of a Roman amphitheatre, acknowledging the ancient culture.

However, the two complications take maximum space on the dial. From the innermost to the outermost, the three-tiered rings display the day, month, and date of the week.

• The Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Perpetual Calendar exhibits the functions of a perpetual calendar most smartly.
• The case-back features the leap year indicator and a winding rotor hide it partially.
• Moreover, Cartier has equipped the watch with three rotatable blue brackets that connect to the movement’s gearings and are set on the three rings.

This enhances the legibility of the perpetual calendar, thereby enabling you to read the day, month and date at one glance. However, the one-minute flying tourbillon features the signature rotatable C-shaped cage.

Other Features

The dial of the brand watch flaunts the time display at the 12 O’clock side. It has two small blue gladiator-shaped hands.

• Moreover, the dial also sports a rose gold plate with the Cartier logo engraved on it and an added gold minutes’ ring.
• Cartier offered the dial a sunray decoration, and its dark silver lines start from the minute and hour rotatable axis.
• However, the Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Perpetual Calendar watch features a sapphire-cut cabochon in the winding crown.
• The brand has knurled it a little bit, maybe to enhance grip and also, to increase its appeal.

Cartier produced the rose gold Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Perpetual Calendar watch in limited numbers of only 100pieces. The watch undoubtedly boasts the brand’s excellent craftsmanship in devising a perpetual calendar and exquisitely combining the two complications.

And the Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Perpetual Calendar is ideally the most readable perpetual calendar available in the luxury watch market.
