Cartier Ceinture 78210 1980s

Cartier Ceinture 78210 Paris — 18k Yellow Gold, MK3 Dial (1980s)

Parisian sophistication, distilled into geometry and gold.

The Cartier Ceinture — named after the French word for “belt” — translates the form of a refined buckle into one of Cartier’s most distinctive case designs. With its clipped corners and balanced proportions, the Ceinture stands apart even among Cartier’s celebrated shaped watches.

This mid-size 25 mm Ref. 78210 is an especially collectible variant, featuring the coveted MK3 “PARIS” dial, denoting retail through Cartier’s historic Paris boutique. The untouched white dial shows a beautiful natural patina, complemented by classic blued steel hands and a signed crown — pure Cartier DNA.

Cased in solid 18k yellow gold, the watch presents beautifully, retaining crisp surfaces and strong lines. Paired with its original Cartier strap and matching gold buckle (plus an additional strap for practical wear), this piece blends rarity, elegance, and unmistakable Parisian charm.

A seldom-seen reference — and one increasingly sought after by collectors of shaped Cartier.
