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). Serial Number: B1646P (clearly engraved on the base). Origin: Swiss Made (engraved on the base). Included: Complete with original red and gold faux-leather box featuring a silk-lined interior. Condition and Authenticity: This luxury lighter is in excellent vintage condition. The gold body retains a magnificent luster, showing only minor, superficial signs of use consistent with its age—none of which detract from its refined aesthetic appeal. The lid opening mechanism and ignition wheel function perfectly. The engravings, hallmarks, and serial numbers on the base remain crisp and intact. 100% authenticity guaranteed. Signatures/Engravings: Case back fully hallmarked and engraved: "Cartier Paris", "Swiss Made", "Plaque Or G", the Maison's emblem, and serial number "B1646P". Fully functional
The lot will be carefully packed and shipped via partner couriers. Shipping outside the European Community is not available for this lot.
