The watch
When Cartier revived the Roadster at Watches & Wonders 2026, it ended a fourteen-year silence and reminded everyone why the shape had its devotees: the curved tonneau case, the open dial, the unmistakable nod to mid-century motoring. This 2026 Cartier Roadster, reference WSRD0014, is the large model in stainless steel, 38.8mm across, wearing a deep blue dial. It is the original idea with the edges quietly modernized.
The case' tonneau silhouette sweeping with the wrist in that distinctive automotive curve the Roadster has always owned. It is fitted to a steel and rubber bracelet, a pairing that leans into the line's driving-watch character, equal parts dressy and casual, and keeps the reissue grounded in the everyday.
The dial is a deep blue PVD, read through rhodiumized steel sword-shaped hands and the Roman numeral hour markers that have long been Cartier's signature. The seller notes the blue finish gives the dial real depth, the kind of surface that shifts between near-black and electric blue as the light moves across it.
Driven by the automatic caliber 1899 MC, the self-winding movement that powers much of Cartier's modern steel-sport catalog. It is a dependable, no-drama engine, content to disappear behind the dial and simply keep the watch running.
This Cartier Roadster remains in unworn condition, presented exactly as sold new. The seller reports no flaws. As a current, unworn example, no service history applies.
It comes complete with its original Cartier box and warranty card, offered as a full set as sold new.
