Description from the seller

We are putting up for auction an undisputed symbol of class and elegance signed Cartier: a refined lighter belonging to the famous line "Les Must de Cartier". Characterized by a design with pure, unmistakable lines, this accessory blends the high craftsmanship of the French maison with pronounced everyday practicality, affirming itself as a timeless cult object.

The body of the lighter is enhanced by a bright silver finish, finely worked with an elegant vertical ribbed pattern (godronage). This texture not only gives a strong visual momentum to the silhouette of the item, but also ensures a secure grip and a pleasant tactile feel. On the smooth caseback the original factory inscriptions are clearly stamped, the Cartier brand and the serial number, guaranteeing the piece's absolute authenticity.

Under the mechanical profile, the item is in a state of absolute excellence. The lighter has recently undergone scrupulous and complete professional maintenance to guarantee its total efficiency over time. The device has been recharged with the appropriate gas, equipped with a new flint, and rigorously tested: the roller mechanism is perfectly smooth and the lighter is fully functional, producing a bright, stable, and regular flame.

The conservational state of this specimen is to be considered in good general condition, being a fascinating vintage object with a lived history. 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 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 bear witness to the object's history, giving it an authentic vintage charm without compromising its great aesthetic fascinate in any way.

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