Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier Watch - 42 mm Steel Case - Silvered Opaline Dial - Black Alligator Strap - WSBB0026

Commanding immediate recognition among Cartier's most celebrated modern designs, this 42mm stainless steel Ballon Bleu represents the collection's sweet spot for wrist presence and daily wearability. The WSBB0026 reference showcases Cartier's mastery of guilloché work through its silvered opaline dial, where traditional hand-engraved patterns create subtle light play across the generous 42mm case diameter. This unworn example demonstrates why the Ballon Bleu has maintained such strong collector interest since its 2007 introduction, particularly in this larger case size that balances the design's signature proportions with contemporary sizing preferences.
