Description from the seller

We are presenting at auction an undisputed symbol of class and elegance signed by Cartier: a refined lighter from the renowned Les Must de Cartier line. Characterized by a design with pure and unmistakable lines, this accessory blends the high craftsmanship of the French maison with pronounced daily practicality, confirming itself as a timeless object of desire.

The body of the lighter is enhanced by a bright silver finish, finely worked with an elegant vertical ribbed pattern (gadroonage). This texture not only gives the silhouette a striking visual momentum but also guarantees a secure grip and a pleasant tactile sensation. On the smooth back are clearly stamped the factory original markings, the Cartier brand, and the serial number, ensuring the piece's absolute authenticity.

From a mechanical standpoint, the item is in a state of absolute excellence. The lighter has recently undergone a scrupulous and thorough professional maintenance to ensure its total efficiency over time. The instrument has been refilled with the appropriate gas, equipped with a new flint stone, and rigorously tested: the roller mechanism operates with perfect smoothness, and the lighter is fully functional, producing a bright, stable, and regular flame.

The conservational condition of this specimen should be considered good overall, as it is an attractive vintage object with a lived-in charm. The structure is solid and mechanically impeccable. In full compliance with our strict policy of total transparency, we note the presence of physiological signs of wear, minor surface scratches, and a natural patina from normal use over the years, with these details more concentrated on the smooth surfaces such as the back and the upper lid. These details attest to the object's history, imparting authentic period flavor without compromising its great aesthetic appeal.

To perfectly complete and elevate this lot, the lighter is offered with its prestigious and iconic red rigid original box “Les Must de Cartier,” featuring refined light interiors in contrast. A superb opportunity to acquire a luxury accessory, perfectly serviced and ready to accompany you with style in daily life.
