Q: What is the Cartier Ronde Louis Cartier 29mm Ref 2886?
A: It’s a Swiss‑made Cartier dress watch with a 29mm round case in solid 18k rose gold, a white Roman‑numeral dial, blued steel hands, and Cartier’s beaded crown set with a sapphire cabochon. It comes on a dark brown leather strap with a pin‑buckle closure—an elegant choice for formal and smart‑casual wear.

Q: Which movement does this reference use—quartz or mechanical?
A: Ronde Louis Cartier 29mm models exist in both quartz and hand‑wound mechanical variants depending on production year and configuration. This listing does not specify the calibre; on request, we will verify the exact movement in this watch. Quartz versions require periodic battery replacement; hand‑wound pieces are wound daily.

Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal?
A: Most Ronde Louis Cartier models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. If you’d like us to confirm the crystal type on this exact watch, please contact us and we’ll verify it for you.

Q: Is it water‑resistant, and can I wear it in the rain or swim with it?
A: Water resistance on vintage/pre‑owned dress watches cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid swimming, showering or submersion. Keep the crown fully pushed in and the leather strap away from moisture to preserve its condition.

Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the strap be adjusted or replaced?
A: As listed, it fits wrists up to approximately 17.5 cm. The pin‑buckle leather strap allows micro‑adjustment via the holes. We can advise on the correct lug width and offer guidance on alternative strap lengths and styles if you need a different fit.

Q: Is the case solid gold or gold‑plated?
A: The case is crafted from solid 18k rose gold, not plated, giving a warm, refined tone typical of Cartier’s precious‑metal dress watches.

Q: How do I set the time?
A: Gently pull the crown out to the time‑setting position and turn the hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in firmly when finished. This model is typically time‑only (no date); we can confirm the dial configuration on request.

Q: If it’s quartz, what battery does it use and how long will it last?
A: Many Cartier quartz dress watches use a 1.55V silver‑oxide cell; the exact type depends on the movement. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years. Please have a professional confirm the correct battery and fit it. If this watch is mechanical, no battery is required.

Q: What servicing and care should I expect?
A: For quartz, replace the battery every 2–3 years and have gaskets checked if light moisture resistance is desired. For mechanical, a routine service every 5–7 years is sensible, or sooner if you notice accuracy issues or condensation. Avoid strong magnets, extreme heat, perfumes and solvents, and wipe the watch with a soft microfibre cloth after wear.

Q: What is included, and do you guarantee authenticity and warranty?
A: This listing is delivered with no accessories unless otherwise stated. A Retro Tale rigorously authenticates every item and guarantees 100% originality. All watches include a 12‑month movement guarantee, free fully insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers.
