Architectural Elegance — Cartier’s Rare Arcade in Two-Tone Gold
With bold Art Deco curves and refined symmetry, the Cartier Arcade 9605 is a rare architectural statement — discreetly luxurious and unmistakably Parisian.
Crafted from 18k yellow gold with a white gold bezel, this discontinued design is a hidden gem within Cartier’s vintage catalog. Its smooth lines, compact dimensions, and iconic “Paris” signed dial evoke the maison’s golden design era — elegant, timeless, and highly sought-after.
The blued steel hands, original sapphire cabochon crown, and a crisp white dial remain in superb condition, while the case shows only minimal signs of careful wear. Paired with a Cartier red leather strap and classic Cartier-style buckle, this piece makes a sophisticated impact in just the right way.
