The Cartier Tortue XL Ref. W1556233 is a refined and elegant timepiece that showcases Cartier’s mastery of shaped watches. Introduced in 1912, the Tortue (French for “turtle”) was one of Cartier’s first non-circular watches, designed to stand out with its unique, curved silhouette. This XL version amplifies that heritage with modern proportions and a luxurious aesthetic.

The watch features a silver flinqué dial, adorned with a subtle guilloché pattern that catches the light beautifully, adding depth and texture to the design. Classic black Roman numerals and blued steel hands create a harmonious contrast, staying true to Cartier’s timeless design language.

The polished 18k white gold case, with its distinctive rounded tonneau shape, exemplifies understated elegance while offering a comfortable fit on the wrist. At 43mm x 35mm, the XL size makes a bold yet sophisticated statement, suitable for both formal and refined everyday wear.
