Cartier’s Tressage collection is a sculptural watch family linked by the Maison to Jeanne Toussaint’s legacy. Cartier’s US collection page lists four versions, from plain yellow gold to white gold set with diamonds and sapphires. The images below are collection and product-page visuals, not independent wrist photographs; each caption identifies the specific variant shown.
Cartier Tressage watch: collection images
Cartier describes Tressage as “a watchmaking sculpture.” Its creative-capsule page says the watch “opts for singular volumes and contrasting materials” (Cartier Creative Capsules).
Four Tressage variants compared
The following variants and displayed US prices appeared on Cartier’s collection page. Prices and availability can change; confirm them with Cartier before purchase. Each listing mentions two interchangeable leather straps.
| Variant | Displayed US price | Straps |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow gold | $44,400 | Two interchangeable leather straps |
| Yellow gold with diamonds | $84,000 | Two interchangeable leather straps |
| Rose gold with diamonds | $136,000 | Two interchangeable leather straps |
| White gold with diamonds and sapphires | $148,000 | Two interchangeable leather straps |
Prices shown are those displayed on Cartier’s US collection page when retrieved; the page does not state the year for these figures (Cartier Tressage collection). The listing does not provide a complete technical comparison across the four variants, so the material differences alone do not establish different movements or wrist fit.
#1 Best Overall
- Featuring a Silver-tone Band, Silver-tone Case, Scratch Resistant Sapphire Crystal
Yellow-gold Tressage HPI01689
Cartier lists HPI01689 with a quartz movement, yellow-gold case, black lacquer dial, steel sword-shaped hands with a golden finish, sapphire crystal and two black leather straps. Its stated water resistance is up to 3 bar (approximately 30 m/100 ft) (Cartier HPI01689 product page).
That product page gives conflicting case measurements: the description says 56.2 × 25.7 mm and 11.5 mm thick, while its specification panel says 30.5 × 14.4 mm and 7.62 mm thick. Neither set should be treated as confirmed without clarification from Cartier.

White-gold Tressage with diamonds and sapphires
Cartier’s white-gold product description specifies 742 diamonds totaling 6.60 carats and 330 sapphires totaling 5.90 carats. It also describes a rhodiumized white-gold dial set with brilliant-cut diamonds, a shiny navy leather strap and a second smooth navy leather strap, plus a white-gold buckle set with brilliant-cut diamonds. Cartier lists quartz movement for this product as well (Cartier white-gold Tressage product page).
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Design and Jeanne Toussaint
Cartier connects the collection’s contrast of curve and line with Jeanne Toussaint, whom it identifies as its first female creative director, appointed in 1933. That is Cartier’s own account of the design’s inspiration, rather than an independent historical assessment (Cartier Tressage collection).
