Swap Princess Kate’s luxury Cartier watch for this affordable version that currently has 25% off
Kate Middleton never fails to disappoint with her impeccable style whenever she steps out, no matter whether it’s a chic coat, dazzling dress, or a sleek, tailored ensemble. Besides the garments, her broad collection of jewels and accessories are always just as stunning, most notably her favourite watch, the Cartier Ballon Bleu De Cartier Watch.
The dainty watch comes with a very hefty price tag of £5,900, but thankfully, we have found a much more affordable alternative from one of our favourite watch brands, and it currently has an extra 25% off its retail price, thanks to Black Friday.
Sekonda is selling a close alternative to the Princess’s with the Beaumont Ladies Watch in silver, which usually retails for £49.99. However, you snap it up for yourself for just £37.99 as the brand is offering a 25% discount during their Black Friday sale.
When comparing the two styles, you can see that the Sekonda watch comes with matching sapphire blue watch hands, just like Kate’s, which perfectly complements her sapphire engagement ring that once belonged to Princess Diana. They both have Roman numeral hour markers on the watch face and a chain link strap.
The Sekonda case is 28mm, with the depth being 8mm, therefore making it a dainty and elegant style that will pair perfectly with whatever it is styled with.

The watch strap specifications are width: 15mm, minimum strap length: 138mm, maximum strap length: 182mm. If silver isn’t your chosen accessory colour, you can opt for the same style in either gold or two-tone to add a more fashion-forward edge.
Kate has worn her Cartier watch on many occasions, including during her visit to the RHS’s Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital on July 2 2025, and also on July 12 2025, to Wimbledon Tennis.
Other alternatives that we have found, which are also suitable alternatives to Kate’s, that are also in Black Friday deals, include Fossil’s Gilmore Three-Hand Date Stainless Steel Watch. This is usually worth £169, and is currently £126.70.
If you want to add a more modern twist to the style, then why not opt for Abbott Lyon’s Mini Silver Pearl Link Belgravia 30 Watch. It comes with an elegant pearl watch face with cubic zirconia minute markers. The watch is priced at £149, but you can score yourself 35% off with their code: BLACK35.
So don’t waste time snapping up a replica of Kate’s luxury designer watch for just a fraction of the price.
