Paris Dial
Tortue Extra Plat 96069 — Paris Dial
Undated
Signed “Paris” at six, for watches sold through Cartier Paris or London. HODINKEE finds Paris dials slightly outnumber Swiss ones on the Tortue.
HODINKEE has seen the 1970s Tortue only with Mark 3 dials, suggesting it arrived in the late 1970s; it does not quote this reference number, which comes from the case numbers of the lots below.
