Cartier Ceinture 78099 Paris 18k 1970s

Parisian Precision, Wrapped in Gold

With its distinctive square shape and clipped corners, the Cartier Ceinture is a striking reinterpretation of the belt buckle — ceinture in French — and a rare design statement from the golden era of Cartier.

This 27mm model, the larger of two original reissues from the early 1970s, features the coveted “PARIS” dial — indicating it was sold through Cartier’s flagship boutique in Paris. Its blued steel hands and original white dial (MK2) remain untouched, embodying the refined elegance collectors prize.

Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and preserved in superb condition, this Ceinture is both sculptural and understated — classic Cartier. Pieces with the Paris signature are especially rare and increasingly sought after.
