Cartier Basculante

The Cartier Basculante 2386 from 2000 offers a brilliant expression of Cartier’s creativity and technical finesse — a model that stands apart from conventional dress watches thanks to its ingenious reversible case design.

Crafted from stainless steel, the rectangular case displays elegant proportions and a subtle Art Deco inspiration. Its signature basculante mechanism allows the case to flip within its frame, protecting the dial and revealing the craftsmanship on both sides — a discreet feature cherished by collectors. The pristine white dial with classic Roman numerals preserves the unmistakable Cartier aesthetic: balanced, refined, and unmistakably Parisian.

At its heart beats a precise quartz movement, offering hassle-free reliability and accuracy. This example remains in perfect condition, showing no notable signs of wear, and all components are original — a rare find among pre-owned pieces of this reference.

For collectors of unusual Cartier models or lovers of inventive watchmaking design, the Basculante 2386 is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a watch that combines form, function, and rarity in equal measure.
