With all the classic Cartier styling clues, the Ronde model could be made by no other watch company.  Model reference 8191.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From comparing this model with others that have sold but had paperwork the reference 8191 seems to have been sold predominantly through the 1980’s, so we have picked a mid point year.

CONDITION

With the gold screwed down bezel, blued hands over a white dial and roman numerals on the dial this watch screams Cartier.  It also has the hex crown and cabochon polished stone set into it.  The dial and hands are excellent, and the glass is scratch and chip free.  The case has a few light marks, but the original case back sticker is still in place.  The bezel we believe is 18k gold, and this softer metal has some marks but the original radial feint groves are still there, showing it has not been polished.  The movement is the Cartier quartz calibre 81, which was also used by Ebel, and it is all running well.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.  The leather strap is an original Cartier item, which has light wear, but it retains the original gold plated buckle.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
