Request a ValuationAbout the Cartier Baignoire
The Baignoire's oval 'bathtub' case traces back to early twentieth-century Cartier and was formalised as a named model in the 1950s. It remains a refined dress and jewellery piece, often in gold and often diamond-set.

- Baignoire in yellow, white and rose gold

What affects the value of a Cartier Baignoire
Among the factors we weigh when valuing a Cartier Baignoire:
- Model and case metal
- Any factory diamond setting
- Dial originality and condition
- Box, papers and service records
- Overall condition and prior polishing
- Current demand for that configuration
Selling a Cartier Baignoire without box or papers
Missing paperwork does not put a sale out of reach. We may consider a Cartier Baignoire without its original box, papers, warranty card or receipt.
Any purchase remains subject to authentication, condition inspection, and ownership and identification checks. Documentation can affect valuation depending on the piece, and we will always explain how.
How Fair Vintage assesses your Cartier Baignoire
We look at originality first — dial, hands, case and, where relevant, bezel and bracelet — then movement condition and any service history.
Replacement parts, prior polishing, provenance, and box and papers all feed into the assessment. We explain our reasoning so the offer is one you can understand and rely on.
