This watch is a magnificent and impressive masterpiece , weighing approximately a staggering 35 carats in total . The dial and bezel is composed of baguette-cut diamonds , and the bracelet is fully and lavishly set with brilliant diamonds . The setting on this watch is second to none , and really merges watchmaking with Haute Joaillerie , which is a term used to describe an elite group of pieces which a brand decides to commission in such a stylistically way . It separates a piece from others being manufactured by the brand and is usually of top quality and requested as a special commission . It is highly possible that this watch is unique and designed specially for one of Cartierʼs most important clients .
