Not limited to avant-garde designs, the current Colisee is a piece of art by itself. Integrating multiple cuts of diamonds on the bezel and the carved rubies, sapphires and emeralds on the case, it not only exerts immense presence on the wrist but also showcases Cartier’s expertise in gemstone craftsmanship. The rarity does not stop there as it is believed to be a possibly unique piece created by the Maison.
