The Cartier Roadster “Havana Coral” Limited Edition is an exceptionally rare and visually distinctive execution of Cartier’s celebrated Roadster collection, combining the Maison’s unmistakable Parisian design language with a bold and highly unusual dial color. Crafted in stainless steel, the beautifully sculpted tonneau-shaped case measures approximately 36mm x 30mm and approximately 9mm in thickness, offering elegant proportions and a refined presence on the wrist. The case is defined by smooth automotive-inspired curves, polished and satin-finished surfaces, exposed decorative screws, and the Roadster’s signature crown design, all seamlessly integrated into the bracelet.
The defining feature of this limited edition is its spectacular Havana Coral sunray-effect dial, an exceptionally uncommon color that shifts between warm coral, copper, salmon, and champagne tones as it reflects the light. The dial is decorated with bold white Roman numerals and luminous accents, creating striking contrast while preserving Cartier’s unmistakable aesthetic. Elegant luminescent sword-shaped steel hands provide excellent legibility, while a finely detailed inner minute track frames the central silver-toned portion of the dial. A practical date aperture is positioned at 3 o’clock beneath the Roadster’s distinctive cyclops magnifying lens, which is integrated into the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and remains one of the collection’s most recognizable design signatures.
Powering the watch is the reliable Swiss quartz Cartier Calibre 688, renowned for its exceptional accuracy, dependability, and effortless everyday convenience. The quartz movement allows the Roadster to retain its sleek profile while providing precise timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The watch is completed by its original integrated stainless steel bracelet, beautifully finished with alternating polished and brushed surfaces and secured by a hidden fold-over deployant clasp for a clean, uninterrupted appearance and comfortable fit.
The Cartier Roadster “Havana Coral” Limited Edition stands apart as one of the most unusual and collectible dial variations produced within the Roadster family. Its discontinued status, limited production, exceptionally rare Havana Coral dial, and unmistakable tonneau-shaped case make examples increasingly difficult to locate. Combining Cartier’s iconic Roman numeral design, distinctive automotive-inspired architecture, Swiss precision, and a dial color seldom encountered in the Maison’s production, this remarkable Roadster represents a highly desirable addition to any distinguished Cartier collection.
