Tanks, Santos, Pantheres, Tonneaus, even Tortues (plus each of their myriad variations) are all either overtly or subtly four-sided. Uncommon early circular pieces were all but forgotten until the 70s when Cartier revived them as Vendômes, named after their new Parisian boutique at Place Vendôme (to complement its historical flagship at 13 Rue de la Paix). Vendômes are some of the most underrated Cartiers and here we have a particularly striking one with a “Tuxedo” dial; an ultra-classy, very seldom seen variant among the rarest Vendôme dials. Comes with an equally uncommon Cartier deployant instead of pin buckle, with a used Cartier alligator strap! We already love these ultra-thin elegant Vendômes, and if you’re in the market, this is one you’ll probably never see another person wearing in the same room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONDITION:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e8.5\/10 with just light hairlines. Would have been a 9 if not for a scrape at the case sides around 9:30 measuring 1mm x 3mm. Sapphire crystal and cabochon are clean. Lacquer dial too, with subtle spidering that’s appreciated by collectors as wabi-sabi charm and a sign of original and unreplaced authenticity for age. Hands have some mild age spots. Caseback has crisp and deep engravings and hallmarks. Strap is used with some signs of wear but has plenty of life remaining. Movement in excellent health, and quartz-accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e30mm width excl. crown\u003cbr\u003e36.8mm length incl. lugs\u003cbr\u003e4.9mm thick\u003cbr\u003e16mm lug width with custom T-bar cutouts\u003cbr\u003eDial width ~25.5mm\u003cbr\u003eWrist in photos is 15.8cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCRYSTAL:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSapphire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCASE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e925 sterling silver, 20 micron gold-plating\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWATER RESISTANCE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAssumed none, as per vintage watches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTRAP:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eOriginal Cartier gloss black alligator with original Cartier folding deployant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCALIBRE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eCartier Cal. 81, 2-hander quartz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOMES WITH:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eWatch, original Cartier strap and deployant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTERMS OF SALE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePlease read our “Terms of service” below.
