Kate's fabulous Cartier watch

At the time, many speculated it could have been a gift for her 30th birthday from Prince William. 

A St James's Palace spokesman said of the necklace: "It's a personal piece which she's had for some time. It's not an official Olympic item but it's appropriate to wear it." As the patron of the gallery and an ambassador for London 2012, Kate had been invited to unveil 100 new portraits related to the sports spectacular.

Kate is rarely seen wearing a watch in public, but when she does, she often sports the Ballon Bleu Cartier timepiece featuring a sapphire that perfectly matches the gem in her engagement ring. 

The retail price of the Cartier 'Ballon Bleu Medium' watch in steel with a quartz movement is around £5,000.
