With the original box and the Cartier deployant clasp, this 30mm Must de Cartier vermeil watch is in the condition you look for.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

We don’t have the original papers for this watch, but we do have a service document for this watch (quoting the serial number found on the watch back).  That is dated August 2000, and we are working on the principle that the repair was done under warranty.  The earlier Must de Cartier watches didn’t feature dial markers in this style, which helps point towards this being a later watch.

CONDITION

Vermeil is gold plated silver, and all Must de Cartier ranges of this period were made of this combination of materials.  It made them more affordable, especially as gold had dramatically increased in value in the 1970’s, but it is also a model weakness.  Too many have the gold wearing out in high points, but this is the best one we have ever seen.  The case back has a sticker on it that may have been applied in 2000 at the service, and it is difficult to fault the condition of the plating.  Likewise, the dial and hands are very good and the glass shows no chips or scratches when inspected with a 4x loupe.  The Cartier calibre 690 movement is all working well and we will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.  The leather strap is used, possibly original, and the Cartier deployant clasp is fitted.  Earlier watches in this range had a simple buckle.  This size was considered unisex, so we have pictured the watch on both a mans and ladies wrist.

This watch will be supplied with an original Must de Cartier presentation box, the cardboard outer box, service papers 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.
