Freshly back from a full Cartier service, and with its original certificate, this superb 18ct yellow gold Tonneau Cintrée simply demands to be seen in the flesh. The condition is unlike any other we've handled, its stylish flat chamfered case edges meet at clean angles.This model is an original Cartier 'Paris', with the word printed low on the dial, in contrast to the later re-editions. Its provenance from a now-lost era is galvanised by the words 'Made in France' engraved into the case-back. The dial's subtle guilloché pattern discreetly captures the light. Blue sword hands and a pronounced cabochon gemstone crown bespeak classical Cartier. Fitted to a gold folding clasp and new Cartier alligator strap. Manual-wind movement, it comes with its original certificate stamped in Milan, booklet, red Cartier box and travel pouch. Under warranty by Cartier.
