For many watch collectors, owning a Cartier timepiece isn’t just a dream—it’s a goal. It’s a staple on the Preview editors’ wishlists, too, and for good reason. Beyond the prestige of the Cartier name, the brand’s designs are timeless, instantly recognizable, and effortlessly elegant. Some models have been around for decades, yet they still feel just as fresh today. Even discontinued pieces remain highly sought after, with collectors scouring the secondary market and willing to spend anywhere from thousands to millions just to get their hands on one. That alone speaks volumes about the brand’s desirability and status.
It’s no surprise that several Filipina celebrities also can't get enough of Cartier watches. If you’re thinking of investing in one but don’t know where to start, here are the exact Cartier timepieces they’ve been spotted wearing.
The Exact Cartier Watches Worn by Filipina Celebrities
1. Heart Evangelista’s Tank Must
Heart Evangelista’s watch collection just got a major upgrade, thanks to her friend, designer Michael Leyva. He recently gifted her a maroon red Cartier Tank Must, and of course, Heart wasted no time styling it to perfection. She shared the sleek timepiece on Instagram, pairing it with her go-to Van Cleef & Arpels vintage Alhambra bracelet, captioning, “Arm party just got the best upgrade thanks to @michaelleyva_.”

2. Kelsey Merritt’s Panthère de Cartier
Some watches tell time, but the Panthère de Cartier does so much more—it doubles as jewelry. That’s exactly why Kelsey Merritt reaches for hers all the time. The Fil-Am model and Victoria’s Secret angel has been spotted out and about wearing the small yellow gold Panthère, proving how effortlessly it adds a touch of quiet luxury to even the most low-key outfits.

3. Marian Rivera’s La Panthère de Cartier
Marian Rivera’s La Panthère de Cartier is not to be confused with the Panthère de Cartier. While both feature the house’s signature panther, Marian’s watch has a bolder, more sculptural look—the panther’s head actually bites down on the bezel. It’s a striking yet elegant detail that gives her everyday outfits just the right amount of edge.

4. Small Laude’s Santos de Cartier
The Santos de Cartier is one of those watches that just hit differently. It’s been around for over a century, and both men and women love its signature square face and exposed screws. Small Laude’s version takes it up a notch with a gem-set bezel, adding just the right amount of sparkle—because let’s be honest, Small wouldn’t have it any other way.

5. Sofia Andres’ Roadster
If there’s one thing about Sofia Andres, it’s that she knows how to pick a statement watch. Her Cartier Roadster is a vintage-inspired beauty, taking cues from the smooth curves of 1950s sports cars like the Porsche 356. While Cartier discontinued the line in 2011, that only makes it more elusive—and let’s be real, that just adds to its cool factor.

Belle Mariano’s wrist candy of choice is Cartier’s Baignoire (pronounced "ban-wah"). Characterized by its oval-shaped dial and slender strap, its design makes it equally suited for day and nighttime affairs.
