28mm through 42mm; 36mm is the most versatile and liquid. Movement sets value — quartz (WSBB steel) is meaningfully cheaper than automatic. Steel/yellow two-tone (W6920047) carries a premium over plain steel. Inspect the cabochon closely — chips and scratches are common and replacement is pricey. Bracelet stretch is normal pre-owned; budget service. Box and papers give a clear resale lift. Dial color (silver, white, blue) is preference, minimal price impact.
Launched 2007, expanded fast across sizes and metals; skeleton and tourbillon variants came within the first decade; the early steel and two-tone quartz refs remain the most traded entry points.

$3,450–$8,694 maps cleanly: small steel quartz at entry, two-tone or automatic larger pieces at the ceiling — consistent with current grey-market demand. Current live range: $7,452 – $8,694. Prices shown are the full card price; bank-wire payment saves about 3.4%.
Model names, references and specifications are referenced from the official Cartier Official (www.cartier.com). Trademarks and product imagery rights remain with the manufacturer; product photography shown is of our own inventory.
This Cartier Ballon Bleu stock sits on a working wholesale desk at 650 S. Hill St., in the middle of the downtown Los Angeles jewelry district — not in a boutique and not in someone else’s showcase. We own what is listed, which is why the number on the page is a trade number rather than a retail one.
Every listing carries two figures: the card price, which is the price shown, and the wire price, which takes roughly 3.4% off. If you are local you are welcome to come and see the piece on the bench before you buy — call the desk first and it will be out and ready. If you are not, it goes out overnight and fully insured.
