Debenhams Blue Cross sale slashes 93% off Swiss watch similar to Cartier with £2,775 saving

Debenhams have reduced one of its high-end Swiss watches normally worth £2,995 by a whopping 93% to £220 in the Blue Cross sale. The Padova Gemstone Swiss Quartz Diamonds watch is now the site's fourth best-selling watch, after its price was slashed by such an eye-watering amount in the run up to Black Friday.

With less than eight weeks to go until Christmas, shoppers might like to take advantage of the sale if they are in the mood to splash out on a loved one's gift this year. GV2 watches are made in Switzerland, with prices usually firmly in the mid £2k range. But Debenhams have slashed their prices across the board in their Blue Cross sale - though it's not clear how long the offer will last for.

The premium watch features delicate details and expert craftsmanship, with key features including an anti-reflective sapphire crystal face, dazzling gemstone time markers, a diamond-cut ring dial. Fans of Cartier's signature square design might also appreciate the elegant shape of the Padova watch, the Liverpool Echo reported.

For those who prefer silver jewellery, the Padova collection also includes this GV2 Padova Grey Dial 12301B Swiss Quartz Watch. It's currently reduced from £2,595 to £312.84.
