1980s Baignoire Ref. 78094 18k Gold

A vintage Cartier Baignoire from the 1980s, crafted in 18k yellow gold with the model’s iconic oval “bathtub” case and elegant double-stepped bezel.

The dial features Cartier’s signature black Roman numerals and blued-steel hands, complemented by a blue cabochon-set crown. Powered by a 17-jewel manual-wind movement, the watch is paired with a custom-made burgundy crocodile strap and secured by a Cartier 18k yellow gold deployant clasp.

With its softly sculpted case and unmistakable proportions, the Baignoire sits beautifully between watch and jewellery—a distinctly Cartier design that feels just as appealing today as it did decades ago.
