{"product_id":"cartier-cheich","title":"Cartier Cheich in White Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn from the legendary Dakar Rally, the Cartier Cheich was originally conceived as a trophy watch, awarded only to a competitor who won the rally twice consecutively in the same category. After the death of Dakar founder Thierry Sabine, the Cheich disappeared from production and entered Cartier mythology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecades later, Cartier revived the design once in white gold, privately commissioned for legendary collector Giorgio Seragnoli. With its sculptural, desert-inspired form and extraordinary provenance, this unique Cheich unites Cartier design, motorsport history, private commission and singular rarity in one irreplaceable object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaddleWaves was privileged to become a custodian of this extraordinary piece and to add a new chapter to its history. In September 2026, the white-gold Cheich achieved HK$26.52 million at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, establishing a new world auction record for a Cartier wristwatch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PaddleWaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51745136902459,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/1623\/0971\/files\/Cartier_Cheich_01.jpg?v=1790233863","url":"https:\/\/paddlewaves.com\/products\/cartier-cheich","provider":"PaddleWaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
