Cartier Ballon Bleu 40mm WSBB0061 Blue Dial Automatic Steel Full Set

Offered by Texas Watch Exchange: a Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier 40mm, reference WSBB0061, pairing one of Cartier’s most recognizable case designs with a deep blue sunray-brushed dial and the manufacture automatic Calibre 1847 MC. The Ballon Bleu’s defining feature is its sculpted crown architecture — the fluted crown and blue cabochon are recessed into the rounded case profile, creating the distinctive asymmetrical silhouette that immediately identifies the collection.

This 40 mm stainless-steel configuration adds a particularly striking blue dial with applied Roman numerals, silvered sword-shaped hands, and a date aperture integrated at 3 o’clock. The matching steel bracelet is interchangeable, giving the watch a cleaner and more contemporary feel than many traditional Cartier dress references. Cartier specifies the case at 40 mm across and 12.4 mm thick.
