Cartier Ellipse 67081 18k 1980s

Cartier Ellipse Paris Ref. 67081 – 18k Yellow Gold, 1980s

A quiet icon from the golden era of Cartier design.

Originally part of the twelve models of the Louis Cartier Collection, the Ellipse is a study in understated elegance. This Paris-signed dial version—denoted by the "PARIS" text at 6 o’clock—was retailed from Cartier boutiques in Paris or London, making it even more collectible today.

Our Ref. 67081 features a beautifully stepped 18k yellow gold case measuring 26mm, and the classic Cartier hallmarks: crisp Roman numerals, blued steel sword hands, and the signature sapphire cabochon crown. Inside beats a manual-wind Cartier movement, freshly serviced and running flawlessly.

The charm is all in the proportions—refined, compact, and timeless. It’s a rare piece for those who appreciate quiet luxury and true design heritage.
