HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
While we don’t have any papers of this watch, we do have reference to the same watch model in the 1999 Wristwatch Annual.
CONDITION
The Must de Cartier range was launched in the 1970’s, as gold prices were driving away Cartier’s traditional buyers (gold prices more than quadrupled within a decade.) So a range of steel and gold plated silver watches were created, and these were named Must de Cartier.
The Cartier Trinity ring uses three bands of different gold – yellow, rose and white, and was designed in 1924 by Louis Cartier. You can see a whole range of current jewellery with this design here, but they no longer produce watches for this range. This ladies watch has the interlocked design of three bands, but all set in a sterling silver case coated with gold – vermeil. The dial has a few marks around the edge, difficult to see with the naked eye, and the case has a few marks too – most noticeable at 9 o’clock. The curved mineral glass is great, and the spinelle cabochon stone set into the original crown has just a small chip to the end which is difficult to see without magnification. The movement is the Cartier 157 quartz, which is running perfectly. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
