Today's offering showcases one of the most distinctive ladies' Roadsters Cartier produced: This rare limited edition ref. W6206006 was created for Christmas in 2008 although it was not sold until 2016.

With its natural mother-of-pearl dial, vivid pink Roman numerals, and matching pink Cartier strap, this is a much more special watch than the standard Roadster SM.

When Cartier introduced the Roadster in 2001 it represented a bold shift for the maison. Cartier had long been known for its refined rectangular watches - the Tank, the Santos, the Tortue - but the Roadster embraced a new aesthetic that blended Cartier elegance with the dynamic spirit of vintage sports cars.

Shortly after it was released the Roadster became a familiar sight in fashion editorials and film wardrobes, favored by stylists looking for a watch that conveyed modern luxury with a sporty edge. Its bold case shape and distinctive dial made it instantly recognizable on screen and in print, reinforcing the model’s reputation as one of Cartier’s most expressive modern designs.

Its broad tonneau case, flowing shoulders, exposed screws, and oversized fluted crown give it more energy than a traditional dress watch, while the Roman numerals and cabochon crown preserve the maison's familiar visual language.

Roadsters were one of Cartier's hottest watches and have been discontinued, and this gorgeous example is available for a fraction of the retail price.

This Christmas edition uses color extremely well. The mother-of-pearl dial moves from soft ivory and silver to a warm blush as the light changes. Its saturated pink numerals and pink minute accents stand clearly against the shell without obscuring its natural character. Paired with the pink strap, the watch feels deliberately designed rather than simply colorful. It is feminine, sporty, and immediately recognizable across a room.

At approximately 31mm wide excluding the crown, 37mm long, and 9mm thick, it has more wrist presence than its nominal size suggests. The broad dial opening and substantial tonneau case make it feel like a true luxury watch rather than a scaled-down accessory, while Cartier's quartz caliber 688 makes it exceptionally easy to live with. Set it, put it on, and enjoy it.

It is all original and presents in gorgeous condition. The watch presents as a 9.7 out of10.

Its case presents as just short of perfect mint. A slight polishing to a couple of tiny spots on the bezel could make it present like new.

Its dial and crystal both present like new. And its original pink Cartier strap show only light signs of use.

A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing on the watch. For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Accompanying the watch is its original Cartier box, Cartier bifold wallet, and Cartier CD.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity
