Debenhams slash price of watch similar to £8k Cartier version to £201
Savvy shoppers have found a vintage-inspired watch that bears a similar appearance to a £8,000 Cartier watch for a fraction of price.
An elegant timepiece can elevate your outfit and be worn year after year, depending on its quality. One timepiece that never loses its charm is Cartier’s Panthère watch, renowned for its square face, Roman numeral digits and iconic link bracelet.
However, with an £8,000 price tag for the 18K yellow gold and stainless steel version, it’s certainly a luxury item, which is why we were thrilled to discover this Gv2 Milan Swiss Quartz Diamonds and Stainless Steel Watch – now £201.60 at Debenhams.
This watch boasts a two-tone mixed metal design featuring both gold and silver details, along with a stainless steel bracelet and Roman numerals encircling the dial. It even surpasses the Cartier version with diamonds pavé adorning the dial’s perimeter, adding an extra touch of opulence.
Besides bearing a striking resemblance to the sought-after Cartier watch, its price tag is a significant attraction. Already more affordable than the designer counterpart at £2,995, it’s currently reduced to £201.60.
This staggering 93% discount saves you nearly £2,800, making it an absolute steal, reports the Mirror.
The website did not specify on the grade and carats of the diamonds used but they mentioned the watch boasts a “sapphire crystal face” with an anti-reflective finish and that it’s water-resistant to 50 metres.
In addition to that, the link bracelet-style strap is crafted from stainless steel with ion-plated yellow gold.
Several other versions of the timepiece are also available in the Debenhams sale, including a yellow gold variation, which is now reduced from £2,995 to just £279.20.
If the £204 price tag for the two-tone gold and silver watch is a bit steep, Sekonda’s Monica watch is another excellent choice. This popular timepiece is priced at £64.99, or you can opt for the simple mixed metal maxi size at the same price.
Fossils Raquel watch, retailed for £199, is another style that resembles the Cartier watch as it comes with a gold-tone bracelet and a mother of pearl watch face.
