Visual Description

The Ref. 119000R is the 26 mm ladies' Cougar: a round stainless steel case with a yellow gold bezel, which Battin Enchères describes as screw-down and 18k gold. Fellows catalogs a silvered dial with Roman numerals and a date aperture at 3 o'clock, and Battin Enchères an opaline dial with Roman numerals, a minute track, a center seconds hand and a date window. The steel and gold bracelet closes with a signed double folding clasp; Battin Enchères describes its links as flat.

Reference Significance

The 119000R is the ladies' size of the steel and gold Cougar, the 26 mm counterpart of the 33 mm Ref. 187904, and the steel and gold counterpart of the 26 mm gold Ref. 887906. Wright catalogs a 26 mm steel and gold Cougar, quartz, as Ref. 187906; no source found ties the two numbers.

Historical Context

Battin Enchères dates its example, serial 000127, to circa 1990. Fellows catalogs another, serial 003513, on the Cartier Cal. 87.06 quartz movement with quick date set, without a date. No source found gives a first or last year for the reference.

What to Look For

Read the case back for 119000R and a serial. Check the gold bezel for wear, the bracelet for stretch and the clasp for a firm close. Battin Enchères gives the size as 26 cm, a misprint for 26 mm. Check that the date changes at 3 o'clock and that the quartz movement runs.

How to tell it apart

What separates a Ref. 119000R from its neighbors, and what to check before you buy or sell one.

What is a Cartier Cougar Ref. 119000R worth?

Archiva has found no public sales of Ref. 119000R in the last five years. The closest comparable, from November 2023 to November 2026: Ref. 187906 (26 mm ladies, steel and gold, quartz): two sales, $1,600 and $3,400. A guide to the neighborhood, not a price for Ref. 119000R.

What is the Cougar Ref. 119000R?

The ladies' Cougar in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold: a round steel case 26 mm wide with a gold bezel, a silvered or opaline dial with Roman numerals and a date at 3 o'clock, a Cartier quartz movement and a signed steel and gold bracelet with a double folding clasp. Battin Enchères dates one example to circa 1990.

How does the 119000R differ from the 187904 and the 887906?

By size or metal. The 187904 is the 33 mm Cougar in steel and gold; the 119000R is the 26 mm ladies' size in the same metals. The 887906 is the 26 mm ladies' Cougar in 18k yellow gold, case and bracelet.

Is the 119000R the same watch as the 187906?

Both numbers appear on 26 mm ladies' Cougars in steel and gold with a quartz movement: Fellows and Battin Enchères catalog the 119000R, and Wright the 187906. No source found prints both numbers on one watch or explains how they relate, so read the case back.

What should the case back of a Ref. 119000R read?

119000R and a serial, as Fellows reads 119000R 003513 and Battin Enchères ref. 119000R with n° 000127. Battin Enchères describes a screw-down gold bezel.

What should I check before buying a Ref. 119000R?

The case back number and serial; the gold bezel for scratches and wear, which Battin Enchères noted on its example; a bracelet without stretch and a double folding clasp that closes firmly; a date that changes at 3 o'clock; and a quartz movement that runs.
