Cartier Drive Extra Flat WGNM0006 2017 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Cartier Drive de Cartier Extra-Flat reference WGNM0006 is a study in refined minimalism and masculine elegance. Part of the acclaimed Drive de Cartier collection, this ultra-slim model reinterprets classic Cartier codes through a contemporary lens. With its softly cushion-shaped case in 18k pink gold, it exudes quiet sophistication—the kind that doesn’t demand attention, but commands it. Measuring just 6.6mm thick and 39mm wide, the case is remarkably slender, making it an ideal choice for formal occasions or understated daily wear.

The silvered satin-brushed dial is clean and balanced, with black Roman numerals and a classic chemin-de-fer minute track that reinforce Cartier’s signature aesthetic. Blued steel sword-shaped hands add a subtle pop of color, while the absence of a seconds hand or date display maintains a serene purity. The iconic beaded crown set with a sapphire cabochon lends a final touch of distinction, enhancing the watch’s timeless allure. Everything about the dial design is considered and proportioned for visual harmony.

Inside beats the hand-wound Cartier calibre 430MC, a movement based on the ultra-thin Piaget 430P. With a power reserve of approximately 36 hours, it reflects Cartier’s philosophy of prioritizing elegance and discretion in ultra-flat timepieces. The closed caseback further emphasizes the streamlined simplicity of this model, choosing tactile feel and wearing experience over visual exhibition. Its manual-wind nature enhances the ritual of ownership, offering a quiet moment of connection between the wearer and the watch each day.

Fitted with a semi-matte grey alligator leather strap and secured by an 18k pink gold ardillon buckle, the Drive Extra-Flat wears with incredible ease and grace. It slips effortlessly under a cuff, but has a character that lingers in memory. Now discontinued and increasingly sought after, the WGNM0006 represents Cartier at its most poetic—a celebration of form, proportion, and the subtle art of restraint. For collectors who value elegance without excess, this is one of the maison’s most compelling contemporary dress watches.
