Cartier - Oval (Godron) - Lighter - Gold plated

A0000005611

CARTIER OVAL GOLD-PLATED LIGHTER (PARIS/SWITZERLAND, c. 1970s-80s): We are listing at auction an authentic jewel from the iconic Maison Cartier, a symbol of status and timeless elegance. It is the classic oval silhouette model, designed to fit the hand perfectly and glide smoothly into the pocket.

This unit stands out for its sumptuous gold-plated finish (Plaqué Or G), enhanced by an exquisite jewelers’ engraving of vertical lines (known as the Godron pattern). This design not only catches light from every angle, creating dazzling gleams, but also offers an unparalleled tactile texture.

The base of the lighter confirms its absolute authenticity and pedigree: it bears the signature "Cartier Paris", the double "C" logo, the "SWISS MADE" stamp (guaranteeing its precise Swiss-made internal mechanism) and its individual serial number 50522 T.

Condition (Expert Review)
The piece is in an extraordinary aesthetic and mechanical state:

Metal and Aesthetics: The gold plating retains a deep mirror-like shine. No major dents, dings, or heavy wear on the engraving. It shows subtle and logical micro-scratches typical of very careful use over the decades.

Mechanism: The ignition wheel turns with precision and the cap opens solidly. As clearly seen in the first image of the photo gallery, the lighter produces a flame and functions. (Expert note: Since this is a vintage item, it will be shipped without fuel for safety reasons, so the buyer will need to refill gas for daily use).

(Prospective bidders are asked to view the photo gallery in detail, as it forms an essential part of the expert description of the piece. The item ships without a case).

Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and securely packaged, with insured shipping and an international tracking number.

An exquisite opportunity for collectors of high jewelry or smokers who wish to add a genuine piece of Cartier’s timeless elegance to their daily life! Good luck to all bidders!
