Description from the seller
A true icon of timeless elegance and the elite French lifestyle. This spectacular vintage gas pocket lighter, from the legendary "Must de Cartier" collection, embodies the pinnacle of late 20th-century luxury accessories. Expertly crafted, it features Cartier's signature oval shape, enhanced by a stunning, brilliant yellow gold-plated finish (18–24 karat) and an incredibly sophisticated vertical gadroon pattern. Complete with its prestigious original red case, this item stands as a testament to Swiss technical precision and Parisian high-jewelry design. A distinctive piece exuding class and exclusivity—an essential addition to any curated luxury collection or an exquisite gift for a true connoisseur. Technical Specifications: Brand: Must de Cartier (Paris). Model: Vintage oval gas pocket lighter. Decoration/Finish: Vertical gadroon pattern (Godron motif), thick gold plating (Plaque Or G).
