Our View
The Must de Cartier collection remains one of the most collectible vintage Cartier ranges, offering iconic Cartier styling in a format that remains both wearable and affordable compared to the brand’s solid gold models.
This example is particularly attractive thanks to its rare black Roman numeral dial, and recent restoration. The subtle spidering to the dial adds character and authenticity without detracting from its overall appearance.
Elegant, distinctive and increasingly difficult to find in this specification.
