Offered: An iconic and 100% original vintage Cartier Vendôme Santos from the 1980s. This model is an absolute design classic, instantly recognizable by the legendary platinum/white-gold accents and the gold-colored Santos screw details on the nose bridge and the hinges.

Specifications:
Brand: Cartier (Paris)
Model: Vendôme Santos
Period: 1980s
Country of origin: France (Made in France)

Condition of the item: The frame itself is in very nice and sleek vintage condition. The gold layer shines beautifully and shows hardly any wear. The authentic burgundy/red temple tips are in decent condition. One of the logo plates shows slight discoloration at a corner, in keeping with its age.

Lenses: The glasses are currently fitted with prescription lenses. The item is therefore offered purely as a vintage basic frame. The buyer must have new (sun) lenses installed by an optician.

Adjustment: One of the temple arms needs to be slightly realigned/re-set by the optician for a perfect, symmetrical fit on the face.

Accessories: This lot concerns only the loose frame. There is no original Cartier box, case, or paperwork present. All authentic features, including the deep Cartier engravings in the nose bridge and the unique serial number (273514) under the upper bridge, are sharp and clearly legible in the photos.
