My wife ask me to investigate this one:

Silix said she didn't have it. I emailed Trevor earlier today. From some of the comments here I'm worried the ladies' Cartier reps might be shabby quality.
The tank francaise are available as reps, but ia can't speak to their quality.
I bought my mother a mid-sized (36mm) quartz ballon in solid yg with pave bezel. WBK (Stan) sourced it for me and it cost around $160 including shipping. Although Cartier no longer makes a midsized quartz (as far as I can tell) version of the Ballon, the watch was spot on to the older version gen. Unlike some of the midsized ballons with ticking seconds hands, this version had no seconds hand to tick. The quality of the engraving on the case back, gold plating and dial were excellent. Honestly, the watch is stunning. I'll try dig up some picture of it to show you. My mom is not a watch person, but she LOVED this watch. She treats it the same way she would if it was the $30,000.00 gen.
I also have a 21j version in stainless steel, same case as the ultimate version that stan sourced for me. It is also a stunner. To round out my cartier section of the box, I also have a Ultimate Santos 100 chrono that was an impulse purchase from another member. The watch is an amazing copy, but the strap and clasp are rubbish. I am considering biting the bullet and buying a gen strap for it. I have gone through five clasps and each one has one or more issues. I am still working on Finding a reasonably priced gen clasp or oem quality aftermarket clasp. It has been rough sailing on those projects.
