The stainless steel and 18k yellow gold case and bracelet is what make the Ronde Vendome a Cartier to desire. Model reference 8191.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
Happily for us the case back has an inscription of RMC 10.1.85, and that date fits perfectly with the availability of the Ronde Vendome models.
CONDITION
The thin case of this Cartier Ronde Vendome is the thing that separates the design of this watch from other bi metal watches of the period, such as the Rolex Oysterquartz or Omega Seamaster, as we point out in the video. Plus of course you get the bracelet that is pure Cartier design. Overall the condition of this watch is very good indeed, and as it is the larger size it does command a premium over the smaller models – large is relative, as it is still small for a modern watch but perfect for the period in which it was designed and made. The movement is Cartier’s calibre 81, which is only used by Cartier and Ebel. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required. The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
This watch has been checked against the Watch Register and has not been reported as lost, stolen or implicated in fraud, and a copy of that certificate will also be included.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
