Hi @Peonies813

I have the all gold version (YG) in the Panthere and the mini Baignoire with the leather strap. I did have a chance to try on the all gold bangle version (in my size – 15 ) while I was looking for my Baignoire.

Although the bangle version of the Baignoire is a very lovely piece, I prefer the all gold version of the small panthere (if I had to pick between the two style’s your considering).

The mini Balgnoire in the bangle version is very much a jewellery piece and like @sleepdoc. has mentioned, the smooth surface will be prone to scratches through normal wear. Also I managed to try on the size 15 (which would be my size) – I felt it didn’t sit properly on my wrist.

I just love the look of the Panthere (esp the small version), the face is so thin, it feels really nice on , wrapped around my wrist.

I have a friend who also have the small YG Panthere, and seeing it on her wrist, its just so elegant, classy and dainty. My friend wears it so well.

As a standalone piece, i would pick the small Panthere with diamonds in YG. The diamond version is more pleasing to eye IMO.

Please share with what you decide 😊

Sorry for the random interjection in your thread @Peonies813! Hi @Tatownz I would so appreciate if you could post a photo with the Mini Baignoire on your wrist ideally next to the small panthere (I saw the product photos you posted in the other thread). We have the same size and I’m very interested in ordering the Mini B, but the SA at Cartier was very unhelpful when it came to sizing and said I would have to pay a 40% non-refundable deposit to order the watch before I even have the chance to try it on in person. Would love to see it on your wrist to understand how small it actually looks.
Thanks so much!!

Now that I've narrowed it down to the panthere watch, I need to make an absolute final decision -
I know that this isn't a Van Cleef forum but since Cartier is also involved in my dilemma:

Whether or not I should get the Panthere gold watch with diamonds or Van Cleef Frivole Pave BTF ring...:love:

I think it depends if you can get both in the future, pick the one you are most excited about wearing every day for now and you can always add the other one later on :)

For me it was a refundable deposit of 40%… sorry to hear that the SA was not as helpful!

You know how sometimes things work out serendipitously? As I mentioned previously, I had decided on the Panthere over the Baignoire watch. However, I couldn’t stop thinking about the simply beauty of the Baignoire and kept going online here and there to check availability. Of course there were none available and as my SA shared with me then, even wait list is currently closed until further notice.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks later plus a couple of other coincidences that led to this, I get a phone call from my SA the rest is history.
Finally sharing my new timepiece!
The Panthere is readily available but the bangle Baignoire is currently so elusive, I had to jump on the chance and could not be happier.IMG_7749.jpegIMG_8200.jpegIMG_9178.jpegIMG_9847.jpegIMG_0143.jpeg
