CARTIER CEINTURE “TRINITY” – Ref. 81045 – 18k White/Yellow/Rose Gold – Paris Dial – Vintage – 1980 – Cartier Service 2025

We are proud to offer this rare and refined Cartier Ceinture Trinity Ref. 81045, a striking example of Cartier’s design innovation and horological elegance, rendered in a unique 18k tri-color gold case — an homage to the Maison’s iconic Trinity motif.

Dating to 1980, this vintage piece embodies the golden era of Paris-signed Cartier watchmaking. The sculptural “Ceinture” case — named for its belt buckle–like form — measures approximately 27mm and features a harmonious blend of 18k yellow, white, and rose gold, showcasing Cartier’s mastery of mixed-metal design. Each corner is softened by the signature clipped lugs, lending the case a distinctive architectural presence on the wrist.

The elegant “Paris” signed dial, with its silvered finish and minimalist Roman numerals, speaks to Cartier’s understated yet unmistakable aesthetic. Blued sword hands and the sapphire cabochon crown provide timeless design cues, instantly recognizable to connoisseurs of the brand.

Inside, the watch is powered by a high-grade quartz Cartier movement, recently serviced by Cartier in 2025 and accompanied by official service documentation — ensuring both mechanical integrity and collectible pedigree.

This watch is now under full 24 month Cartier warranty until sept. 2027.

Offered on a high-quality leather strap with a matching 18k Cartier pin buckle, this piece is a true expression of vintage Cartier artistry and Parisian charm.

“A rare fusion of form, finesse, and heritage — the Ceinture Trinity is a sculptural icon that embodies Cartier’s most poetic interpretation of time.”
