Before cost-cutting measures brought about the widespread use of quartz movements for certain wristwatches, Cartier utilized Swiss-crafted mechanical movements. Using centuries old watchmaking practices, craftsmen poured individual attention into each wristwatch.

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. It has a lovely 14K gold case with scalloped lugs which still has its original Cartier registration number on it.

It is fully Cartier and presents on the wrist in pleasing condition. Case presents nicely on the wrist, and the dial is untouched.

One of our watchmakers has freshly disassembled the watch down to the last screw and cleaned and oiled it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
