Hold a Cartier Panthère de Cartier in reference WGPN0049, and you're holding a piece of comeback history. Collectors run the model under several names at once, Panthère RG Small, Panthère Rose Gold Small, or Panthère 23 Rose Gold, with the 23 referring to the compact case size Cartier used to bring the line back in 2017.
## January 2017: The SIHH Brings the Panthère Back
At the SIHH in January 2017, Cartier announced the Panthère relaunch with nine material variants at once. The WGPN0049 carries the new reference prefix WGPN, reserved for white gold and yellow gold models (steel versions run under WSPN). US sales didn't start until June 2017, a good half-year after the Geneva debut.
## What Actually Changed on the Case
Compared with the vintage original from the 1980s, Cartier sharpened two details. The WGPN0049 got a sapphire display back, something the old Panthère never had. It also gained reinforced link connections on the bracelet, a detail that shows after years of daily wear, since the vintage model tended to wear out faster at that exact point.
## Dial, Bezel, and the Movement Behind Them
The dial, WGPN0049-Dial-Silver-Roman, shows silver with Roman numerals, paired with a smooth rose gold bezel with no diamond setting (WGPN0049-Bezel-RG-Plain). Power comes from Caliber 157, a quartz movement standard for the small Panthère size, built for everyday reliability rather than complications.
## Why the Reference on the Case Back Is What Counts, Not the Nickname
Three collector names for one model routinely cause confusion on the resale market, since listings show up under Panthère 23 in one place and Panthère RG Small in another. For a solid check, only the reference WGPN0049 on the case back actually matters, along with Caliber 157 and the 2017 sapphire display back as the telltale that sets it apart from older Panthère versions without an exhibition back.
Brand profile: Cartier
Cartier watches (Santos, Tank, Ballon Bleu) are popular targets for counterfeiters. The distinctive design (Roman numerals, blue sword hands) is recognizable — but also easy to copy.
- Sapphire cabochon crown: on genuine pieces it's SET INTO THE METAL (bezel-set); on fakes it's usually GLUED. Test: loupe — adhesive residue around the edge = fake.
- Bracelet screws: genuine Cartier bracelets ALWAYS have visible screw slots. Pins instead = fake.
- 'Swiss Made' at 6 o'clock: MICROPRINTED directly beneath the 6 o'clock marker. Fakes often omit it or print it crooked.
- Guilloché pattern: under 10x magnification, EXACTLY parallel and uniformly deep. Irregularities = fake.
Serial number format: Cartier serial numbers: alphanumeric, on the case back. Older models: number located between the crystal ring and the case. New purchases come with a Cartier passport.
