The Panthere with diamonds. Steel, on the brick bracelet.

Cartier is the house that made the wristwatch a shape rather than a circle: the Tank of 1917, the Tortue of 1912, the Tonneau of 1906, each a case with Roman numerals, blued sword hands and a cabochon in the crown. Cartier makes them in gold and in steel, in quartz and in mechanical, and on the pre-owned market the gold ones sit where a Rolex Datejust does in price and a step above it in how they read across a table.

The Panthere of 1983 is the Cartier that is mostly bracelet: a small square head on a flexible brick-link band that drapes like fabric, revived in 2017 after a decade away. The diamond-bezel version in steel is the one that costs real money on the pre-owned market because the stones are factory-set into the bezel; Rebag’s rows say steel with diamond accent and the photograph shows two rows of brilliants. Small is Cartier’s 22mm width, the size it sells most. No accessories here, so the caseback reference is the thing to ask for.

Rebag gives the width as 22mm, the thickness as 6mm, the band width as 12mm, the wrist size as 6.0 inches, steel for the band, steel with diamond accent for the case, a silver dial, quartz, no accessories, and Very Good with minor scratches and wear. The two rows of stones, Roman dial, hands and bracelet are from the photograph. No reference is stated; W4PN0008 is the catalogue match, marked confirm. Water resistance is Cartier’s figure for the model.

Rebag authenticates in-house and is not a Cartier authorised dealer, and Amazon adds its 30-day return window. Ask for the reference and the numbers on the caseback, close-up photographs of the wear, and when it was last serviced. Nothing here was measured on the watch.

This unit is sold by Rebag through Amazon Luxury Stores, authenticated by the seller with Amazon’s 30-day return window on top; it is one piece, and when it sells the listing goes away, so the second button opens the live search for Pantheres.

Steel Cartiers have resold close to what pre-owned buyers paid, sometimes more, sometimes less; that is a pattern, not a promise, and nothing here is investment advice.
