One, two, three… five different blues confront greys and violets in an array of deep tones. The dial in plique-à-jour enamel has the vibrancy of a stained-glass window.
The enamels are suspended between fragile wires, as elegant and delicate as pencil lines, that play with the light. To this precious technique, Cartier has added mother-of-pearl painting with the creation of a fish in relief. Its citrus orange and highly graphic style contribute to the dream-like quality of the whole dial. This round watch is like a porthole through which we peer into the watery depths.
