Sophisticated and chic, the Must de Cartier Vendome embodies a true sophisticated style. Its marriage of angular and curved lines with pure, concentric circles give it a distinctive and unique presence.

The presentation of this watch is especially beautiful because nearly every element plays off the others. The warm yellow gold case and diamond-set bezel give it richness and sparkle, while the black strap adds enough contrast to keep the watch elegant rather than overly ornate. The classic Roman numeral chapter ring, blued hands, and blue cabochon crown are pure Cartier, giving the design an unmistakable identity even before the eye reaches the stunning dial.

And the dial is really where this watch comes alive. Its mother-of-pearl surface has the wonderful quality that photographs almost never capture properly. Rather than reading as a flat white or silver, it changes constantly with the light, revealing soft flashes of cream, pearl, silvery gray, pale blue, and occasionally faint pink or green tones beneath the surface. The colors appearing and disappearing as the wrist moves, which gives the dial a depth and luminosity that a conventional painted dial simply cannot reproduce.

Originally a mens size, by today's standards it is a midsized watch well suited for anyone with smaller wrists.

It has the look of a solid gold Cartier for a fraction of the cost.

Its diamonds have previously been aftermarket set by a jeweler. They are eye clean and white.

The watch has all of its original Cartier parts down to the gold case screws that are often lost. It presents as a 9.7 out of 10. The dial, case, and crystal all present as mint.

Powering it is its Cartier Swiss quartz movement. A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with an unworn Cartier signed leather strap and buckle of unknown origin making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One has done authorized work for the Cartier Service Center and other of the Richemont brands.

An 18K gold plated over sterling silver Cartier that looks like new on the wrist. It is classic Cartier presentation, but with enough color, light, and texture to make the watch feel genuinely special.
