AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and extremely elegant desk or travel clock signed "Les Must de Cartier," dating from 1991. This specific lot represents an absolute rarity for its conservation state: it is a true New Old Stock (NOS) item, never used, kept in its original accessories for over thirty years.
The square geometric design combines glossy gold plating with refined cylindrical inserts in burgundy enamel/lacquer, the iconic maison color also echoed in the large Roman numerals that decorate the bezel. The gilded lower flap folds perfectly with a snap onto the dial, serving both as a protective cover for transport and as a solid resting base.
Technical Specifications & Identifiers
• Brand: Must de Cartier (Paris)
• Movement: Quartz, Swiss Made
• Functions: Hours, minutes, alarm
• Material: Gold-plated metal and burgundy lacquer
• Dial: Immaculate milk-white, black baton hands, and "Cartier" signature at 12 o’clock
• Serial Number: 890901620 (engraved on the caseback)
• Crown: Adorned with the classic burgundy synthetic sapphire cabochon on the right side.
Antique Engraving & Historicity
The protective folding cover bears an elegant original cursive engraving: "Roberto 23-3-91." As the object is pristine and never used, the engraving testifies to a celebratory or institutional gift from the era, kept intact since the day of purchase (March 23, 1991).
Complete Set
The watch is accompanied by its original period accessories, in like-new condition:
1. Original rigid Must de Cartier box in burgundy faux leather with gold logos and lettering (Internal Ref. 535).
2. Soft protective pouch in genuine burgundy suede, internally stamped in gold with "Cartier Paris" and equipped with a snap button.
Aesthetic and Functional Conditions
• Aesthetic: Showroom condition (10/10). The watch has never been worn or used. The gold plating is brilliantly shiny, free of wear scratches or hairlines, and the burgundy lacquer is absolutely perfect and glossy.
• Mechanical: The watch houses its original Cartier quartz circuit. Having remained idle and stored for years as a collectible piece, the battery is currently discharged. It is sold for testing/revision regarding the insertion of a new battery, but the internal aesthetics and contacts are preserved by the absence of use.
Premium shipping with ultra-secure packaging, tracked and insured for the full auction value."
