does cartier usually sell french versions of the watch overseas as well? Or all oversea versions of any model will be in english?
Read some post about the CPCP that they hav special versions for the chinese market. so my first guess was this one is a special version for the french market.
European watch co said in their past listing that the msrp was $39000 but not sure its correct or not.
Also i would like to find a period correct box for the watch. Does the whole cpcp collection have the same box? I saw one past auction for this model and they had a collection privee winding box that came with the watch.

My first, and thus far only, Cartier is a Tortue from the Collection Privee as well. I think it's the most beautiful watch I've ever owned. ...

This is a fantastic looking watch and so much more attractive than the yellow gold version. For me CPCP was the best Cartier ever produced, the series ran from 1998-2008. It is hard to say when your watch was sold, all I know it was not available during t...
