History of Panthere de Cartier
In 1914, Louis Cartier commissioned a painting of a women draped in a long necklace with a panther at her feet. Cartier loved the painting so much that he used it in advertisements and it soon became the symbol of Cartier. Later that year, the first Panthere piece was produced, a watch crafted with onyx and diamonds to create the spotted appearance of a panther. In 1935, designer Jeanne Toussaint created the first panther inspired jewelry which was a ring adorned with a panther’s head.
To celebrate the Panthere’s 100th anniversary in 2014, Cartier introduced a new line of Panthere jewelry consisting of rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces. Select pieces incorporated gemstones, such as the series’ signature emeralds for the panther’s eyes. The Panthere watch collection was reintroduced in 2017 with multiple variations. These watches were praised for their sleek designs including its square case with curved edges, eight piece screw down bezel, steel link bracelet and concealed clasp.
Arnaud Carrez, the marketing director of Cartier stated “This watch is a good opportunity for us to engage with many audiences and, in particular, a young generation.” He continues to explain that this watch series is the “crossroads between a jewel and a watch. We don’t want to launch it as another watch – we are presenting it as a piece of jewelry.”
How much is my Panthere de Cartier worth?
As a well-known and established luxury brand, Cartier’s jewelry and watches have strong resell value. If you are selling Panthere de Cartier jewelry, you can generally expect to receive 25% to 35% of the piece’s current retail price. The value of your Panthere jewelry and watches on the second-hand market are dependent on several factors:
- Materials: The materials that your jewelry and watch is made of, such as 18k yellow gold, emeralds or onyx.
- 4 C’s: If your jewelry or watch is adorned with any diamonds you will need to learn their cut grade, color grade, carat weight, and clarity grade.
- Model: Certain models, particularly limited edition watches, are highly valued for their exclusivity.
- Condition: If your jewelry or watch shows signs of wear the price can be affected. Conversely, if your pieces are in good condition you can receive a better resale price.
