Description from the seller

We present at the auction an unmistakable symbol of class and elegance signed Cartier: a refined lighter belonging to the famous Les Must de Cartier line. Characterized by a design with pure, unmistakable lines, this accessory combines the high craft of the French maison with pronounced daily practicality, confirming itself as a timeless object of cult status.

The body of the lighter is enhanced by a bright silver finish, finely worked with an elegant vertical ribbed motif (grooved texture). This texture not only gives the silhouette a significant visual momentum, but also ensures a secure grip and a pleasant tactile sensation. On the smooth back cover the original factory inscriptions are clearly impressed, the Cartier brand and the serial number, guaranteeing the piece’s absolute authenticity.

From a mechanical standpoint, the item is in absolute excellence. The lighter has recently undergone careful and thorough professional maintenance to guarantee its full efficiency over time. The tool has been refueled with proper gas, equipped with a new flint, and rigorously tested: the roller mechanism operates perfectly smoothly and the lighter is fully functional, producing a lively, stable, and regular flame.

The conservation state of this specimen is to be considered good in general terms, as it is a fascinating vintage object with a lived-in history. The structure is solid and mechanically impeccable. In full compliance with our strict policy of total transparency, we note the presence of natural signs of time, micro-scratches and a natural patina of wear due to normal use over the years, marks more concentrated on the smooth surfaces such as the back cover and the upper lid. These details testify to the object's history, giving it an authentic sense of era without in any way compromising its great aesthetic charm.

To perfect and complete this lot impeccably, the lighter is offered together with its prestigious and iconic original rigid red box from "Les Must de Cartier", featuring refined light interiors in contrast. An excellent opportunity to acquire a luxury accessory, perfectly overhauled and ready to accompany you with style in everyday life.
