Serial numbers
- ? – ? (2021–?) — Cartier numbers Ballon Bleu references sequentially without publicly documented serial number ranges per model year. No reliable sources found for WSBB0062-specific serial ranges.
The WSBB0062 is the Ballon Bleu 33 mm in steel — but not with the white or silver dial you find in every other display case. The Bleu Glacé that Cartier chose for this variant catches the light differently from any other dial in the line. Pre-owned examples are currently changing hands between $3,267 and $4,201 while new list prices sit at around $6,476 — a spread that is unusually wide for a quartz movement in this class.
## Why 33 mm, and Why This One Specifically?
The 33 mm Ballon Bleu is the most requested women's size in Cartier's steel line, and that comes down to proportions, not trend. The round case sits flush against the wrist without overhanging, and the crown set with a sapphire cabochon sits at 9 o'clock, shielded by the curved guard — a design feature Cartier introduced as far back as 2006 with the first Ballon Bleu. In practical terms, the quartz movement means lower maintenance than an automatic and no trouble even after years sitting unworn.
## The Market Reads Ice Blue Differently
Anyone who monitors the major watch platforms regularly will notice that the ice-blue variant surfaces far less often than the guilloché silver version — at any given time, just 4 to 8 active listings appear across the main platforms, even during peak season. Demand holds steady because the dial does not divide opinion. It is light enough to pair with everyday looks, yet distinctive enough to avoid reading as generic.
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.
