This is the first time link we've seen Cartier revisit the Pebble since it produced those sixish original examples at its London workshop link starting in 1972. It's fitting as this marks the 50th anniversary of the Pebble but until those auction results of a year ago it's likely an anniversary that could've link passed without much fanfare.
The original Full Strike was also all about visuals but the Sapphire version very much takes the notion to its logical conclusion.
