Q: What is the Cartier Panthère 27mm Ref 183949 watch?
A: It’s a vintage two‑tone Cartier wristwatch in stainless steel and yellow gold with a 27mm square case, cream dial with Roman numerals, blued‑steel hands, a blue cabochon crown, and a date window at 3 o’clock. It’s powered by a Swiss quartz movement and offers timeless, elegant styling suitable for everyday and evening wear.

Q: How does the 27mm Panthère wear, and is it unisex?
A: The 27mm case presents a refined, petite profile that suits small to medium wrists. Historically marketed as a ladies’ size, it’s often worn unisex today depending on personal style and fit preference. The integrated bracelet gives a sleek, jewellery‑like look on the wrist.

Q: What movement and battery does it use, and how long will the battery last?
A: The watch uses a Swiss quartz movement. Most examples take a standard 1.55V silver‑oxide button cell (commonly a 377/376 or similar), but the exact type should be confirmed by a professional watchmaker. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years; many quartz movements signal a low battery by jumping the seconds hand in 4‑second steps.

Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I wear it in the shower or swimming?
A: Water resistance on vintage watches is not guaranteed. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid showering, swimming or submersion unless the seals have been replaced and the watch has been pressure‑tested recently. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any exposure to moisture.

Q: How do I set the time and date on this quartz Panthère?
A: Pull the crown gently to the first click to quickset the date, and to the second click to set the time. Avoid changing the date between approximately 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. After setting, push the crown back in firmly.

Q: What wrist size will the bracelet fit, and can it be resized?
A: This bracelet fits up to approximately 17.5cm. A jeweller can remove or add links for a tailored fit, and additional links may be sourced subject to availability and cost. Contact us with your wrist measurement if you’d like sizing advice.

Q: Are box, papers or other accessories included?
A: Please refer to the listing’s Accessories section for what is included. For this piece, it is delivered with no accessories unless otherwise stated.

Q: Is the yellow gold solid, and what materials are used?
A: The watch is crafted in stainless steel with yellow‑gold accents. Cartier’s two‑tone models typically feature genuine gold components, but the exact gold specification can vary by reference and era. We can confirm the details for this specific watch on request.

Q: How should I care for and clean the watch?
A: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemicals, and strong perfumes. Keep the watch away from magnets and excessive humidity. Have the battery and gaskets replaced by a qualified watchmaker as needed, and store the watch in a dry pouch when not in use.

Q: Is it authentic, and what guarantees do you offer?
A: A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage accessories and professionally authenticates every item. We offer a 14‑day money‑back guarantee and a 12‑month movement guarantee on our watches. If you’d like additional photos or details (e.g., serial/reference confirmation), we’re happy to assist.
