Notes: The reference W1556368 Rotonde de Cartier Large Date Retrograde Day/Night Moonphase is a masterclass in artistic, asymmetrical horological layout. Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case with Cartier's signature silver guilloché dial, sapphire cabochon crown, and blued-steel hands, this reference features an impressive array of complications: a prominent double-window large date at 12 o'clock, a retrograde day/night indicator with moon phase detailing at 10 o'clock, and a small seconds register at 6 o'clock.

Condition Assessment:
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent; the timepiece retains sharp case geometry with bright, mirror-polished surfaces and crisp lines throughout, showing only faint handling hairlines consistent with careful wear.

Case & Bezel: The 42mm stainless steel case and smooth bezel present in excellent condition with no deep scratches, dings, or impact marks. The blue cabochon crown is intact and pristine.
Strap/Bracelet & Clasp: Fitted with a brand new leather strap, showing zero wear or creasing. Original buckle is in great condition.

What Makes the Rotonde de Cartier Special:
The Rotonde de Cartier collection showcases some of Maison Cartier’s most expressive haute horlogerie creations, defined by perfectly proportioned round cases, refined lug geometry, and classical dial design. Reference W1556368 elevates this timeless architecture by incorporating an unconventional suite of complications—combining a dual-window large date at 12 o'clock, a sweeping retrograde day/night moonphase indicator at 10 o'clock, and a running small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock. Rather than feeling cluttered, Cartier artfully balances these displays across the silvered guilloché canvas, retaining its quintessential Parisian charm.
At the heart of the timepiece is the in-house automatic Calibre 1904-FU MC, visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback. Developed specifically to accommodate multi-complication modules seamlessly, this movement allows every function—including the large date and retrograde day/night indicator—to be adjusted directly through the main winding crown. This eliminates the need for flush correctors on the case flanks, preserving the clean, flowing lines of the 42mm stainless steel case.
Combining traditional Cartier signatures—like classic Roman numerals, blued-steel hands, and a cabochon crown—with genuine poetic complexity, the Rotonde Large Date Retrograde Moonphase stands out as a distinctive piece of independent horological design. Offered in excellent condition on a brand new strap, this reference represents exceptional value for collectors seeking creative luxury.
