CARTIER BAIGNOIRE MINI SILVER GREEN WGBA0061

A “silver” watch (typically made of stainless steel or white gold) paired with a Green Dial is one of the most popular trends in watchmaking right now. It offers a cool, industrial look that makes the green—whether it’s emerald, olive, or mint—truly stand out.

Since Cartier does not currently offer a standard “Silver Baignoire with Green Dial” (the steel Baignoire usually has a silver dial), here are the best ways to achieve this look across the luxury and premium landscape.

1. The Modern Icon: Santos de Cartier (Ref. WSSA0061)

The Santos is the most famous way to get a “silver and green” look from Cartier. While the case is stainless steel (silver in color), it is the direct equivalent to what you are searching for.

• The Dial: A stunning gradient green that is dark (almost black) at the edges and bright emerald in the center.

• The Bracelet: Comes on a polished and brushed steel bracelet, but includes a secondary green alligator strap that can be swapped in seconds using Cartier’s QuickSwitch system.¹

• Why it works: The industrial look of the exposed screws on the silver-colored case makes the rich green dial feel sporty yet sophisticated.

2. The Classic: Rolex Datejust 36/41 (Mint Green)²

If you want a traditional round “silver” watch, the Rolex Datejust in Oystersteel with a Mint Green dial is the gold standard.³

• The Dial: A sunray-brushed mint green that catches the light beautifully.⁴

• The Look: Can be paired with a smooth bezel and Oyster bracelet for a sporty silver look, or a fluted white gold bezel and Jubilee bracelet for something more “jewelry-like.”

3. The Integrated Sport: Tissot PRX Powermatic 80

For a high-end look at a more accessible price point, the Tissot PRX is a favorite among collectors.⁵

• The Dial: Features a “waffle” texture in a deep British Racing Green.

• The Case: Brushed stainless steel with sharp, light-reflecting angles that give it a high-shine “silver” presence.

A “Baignoire” Workaround

If your heart is set on the Baignoire shape but you want the green/silver look:

• Customization: Many collectors purchase the Stainless Steel Baignoire (Ref. WSTA0051) and commission a custom hunter green ostrich or alligator strap. This provides the “silver and green” contrast, even if the dial remains Cartier’s signature silver-white.
