Collectors prioritize this reference for its manual-wind caliber 045MC, a column-wheel monopusher chronograph movement designed by THA Èbauche, a collaborative venture involving Vianney Halter, Denis Flageollet, and François-Paul Journe. The 34mm by 43mm tonneau case features a sapphire caseback and a silvered guilloché dial with a central rose motif and blued steel hands. Secondary market prices typically range from $45,000 to $65,000 depending on condition and the presence of original accessories. While the white gold model was not a numbered limited edition, its production volume was significantly lower than standard Cartier lines. A notable variant includes the larger XL reference 2714, though the 2396 remains favored for its historically accurate proportions."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 5, "median": 39250.0, "low": 36500.0, "high": 42500.0, "brands": 1, "merchants": 2}, "listings": [{"id": "h_6835835764819", "title": "Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir | Ref. 2396 | White Gold", "brand": "Cartier", "model": "Tortue Monopoussoir | Ref. 2396 | White Gold", "reference": "2396", "price_usd": 42500.0, "currency": "USD", "condition": "excellent", "box_papers": "full_set", "year": null, "case_material": "18k Rose Gold", "case_size_mm": 40.0, "movement": "Automatic", "complications": [], "merchant_slug": "a-collected-man", "merchant_name": "A Collected Man", "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0606/5325/products/Cartier_Tortue_Monopoussoir_Ref_2396_White_Gold_A_Collected_Man_London_WWG_C1545_07.jpg?v=1661264461", "detail_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/listing/h_6835835764819", "buy_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/out/h_6835835764819", "available": false}, {"id": "h_7519797117015", "title": "Cartier Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph CPCP", "brand": "Cartier", "model": "Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph CPCP", "reference": "40950530", "price_usd": 39500.0, "currency": "USD", "condition": "excellent", "box_papers": "full_set", "year": null, "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "case_size_mm": 40.0, "movement": "Automatic", "complications": ["Chronograph"], "merchant_slug": "analog-shift", "merchant_name": "Analog/Shift", "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0809/1255/files/AS11503_40950530_CARTIER_TORTUEMONOPUSSOUIRCHRONOGRAPHCPCP_2396B-5.jpg?v=1767627185", "detail_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/listing/h_7519797117015", "buy_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/out/h_7519797117015", "available": false}, {"id": "h_6594403205203", "title": "Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir 2396 | White Gold", "brand": "Cartier", "model": "Tortue Monopoussoir 2396 | White Gold", "reference": "2396", "price_usd": 39250.0, "currency": "USD", "condition": "excellent", "box_papers": "full_set", "year": null, "case_material": "18k Yellow Gold", "case_size_mm": 40.0, "movement": "Automatic", "complications": [], "merchant_slug": "a-collected-man", "merchant_name": "A Collected Man", "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0606/5325/products/Cartier_CPCP_Tortue_Monopoussoir_2396_white_gold_A_Collected_Man_London_10.jpg?v=1629062321", "detail_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/listing/h_6594403205203", "buy_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/out/h_6594403205203", "available": false}, {"id": "h_6664697020499", "title": "Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir 2396 | CPCP | White Gold", "brand": "Cartier", "model": "Tortue Monopoussoir 2396 | CPCP | White Gold", "reference": "2396", "price_usd": 39000.0, "currency": "USD", "condition": "excellent", "box_papers": "full_set", "year": null, "case_material": "18k Yellow Gold", "case_size_mm": 40.0, "movement": "Automatic", "complications": [], "merchant_slug": "a-collected-man", "merchant_name": "A Collected Man", "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0606/5325/products/Cartier_Tortue_Monopoussoir_2396_CPCP_WG_A_Collected_Man_6.jpg?v=1638805439", "detail_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/listing/h_6664697020499", "buy_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/out/h_6664697020499", "available": false}, {"id": "h_6953341714515", "title": "Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir | 2396 | CPCP | White Gold", "brand": "Cartier", "model": "Tortue Monopoussoir | 2396 | CPCP | White Gold", "reference": "2396", "price_usd": 36500.0, "currency": "USD", "condition": "excellent", "box_papers": "full_set", "year": null, "case_material": "18k Yellow Gold", "case_size_mm": 40.0, "movement": "Automatic", "complications": [], "merchant_slug": "a-collected-man", "merchant_name": "A Collected Man", "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0606/5325/products/Cartier_Tortue_Monopoussoir_CPCP_2396_whitegold_A_Collected_Man_London_00.jpg?v=1678193216", "detail_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/listing/h_6953341714515", "buy_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/out/h_6953341714515", "available": false}], "auction_lots": [{"slug": "cartier-2396-2019", "brand": "Cartier", "reference": "2396", "model": "Tortue Monopoussoir", "case_material": "18k White Gold", "hammer_usd": 20000, "year_sold": 2019, "venue": "Christie's New York", "lot_summary": "A modern CPCP reissue of the 1928 single-button chronograph, powered by the caliber 045 MC developed by THA Ébauche.", "source_url": "https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6241234", "provenance": "ai_generated_grounded", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/auctions/cartier-2396-2019"}]}
