In vintage times the company made two distinct types of wristwatches - those signed Cartier throughout with major components made by different Cartier contractors and others that were complete watches created especially for Cartier by another premier watchmaker, such as Jaeger-LeCoultre, Piaget, or Concord Watch Co. Such is the case with this Cartier especially made for the firm by Concord.
Today's offering showcases this beautiful original Certified Pre-Owned vintage ladies solid gold Cartier.
Its design elements are easily recognized as Cartier: A timeless 14K oval gold case, a classic original silver Roman dial, and a sapphire topped crown. And its original "Breguet Moon" style hands complete its distinctively elegant look.
Its Concord for Cartier handwound mechanism is the same caliber (named caliber 78 in Cartier made watches) found in almost all mechanical Carter Tanks from the era.
It's in gorgeous original condition - it still retains its original factory applied satin finish to the case back that has never been polished. Its part are all original down to the original band spring bars! It presents on the wrist as just short of perfect mint.
Its case is in just short of mint condition and still retains its crisp hallmark and Cartier markings. Its dial is also just short of perfect mint.
One of our watchmakers has freshly disassembled the watch down to the last screw and cleaned and oiled it and installed a new-old-stock crystal making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new aftermarket leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
Don't miss the chance to own this classic solid gold vintage Cartier for the price of an entry level steel TAG Heuer.
