Yesterday saw the first day of Auctions as part of Monaco Legend’s Exclusive Timepieces. A highlight was undeniably the white gold perfect UK replica Cartier Bamboo Coussin watches from Cartier, produced in the 70s.
Cartier is probably the king of design elegance when it comes to AAA online Cartier fake watches, and it has produced an array of different styles, some rarer than others. Finding these rare ones, such as the Crash or the Cheich is a treasure hunt for niche Cartier collectors. The top 1:1 copy Cartier Bamboo Coussin watches is definitely rare, but one which perhaps flies under the radar compared to those two. Or at least that was the case until yesterday.
With its cushion shaped case emulating a bamboo stalk, the luxury China replica Cartier Bamboo Coussin watches combines French style with Far-East inspiration. The dial is what you’d expect from Cartier, displaying Roman numerals outside a Chemin de Fer, complemented by blue fired hands which are powered by calibre 2512.
Only 250 odd examples of the Swiss made fake Cartier Bamboo Coussin watches are thought to have been made, and the example we saw go under the hammer yesterday was even rarer, cased in white gold. Whilst its not clear exactly what proportion of these cheap wholesale Cartier super clone watches were made in white gold, they were definitely outnumbered heavily by the yellow gold production. In fact, out of only 20 or so public appearances of the Bamboo Coussin, a white gold example has only ever surfaced once before, at Antiquorum in 2020, selling for just under $24,000.
Yesterdays example however, hammered for the equivalent of $283,000, over four times its upper estimate.
