Cartier Santos Vendôme Vintage Sunglasses (1983) – Custom Grand Diamond Pave G/VS1 – Full Set with Unopened Warranty & Limited Series Case 701
General Overview
A rare opportunity for collectors and haute joaillerie enthusiasts: a gorgeous pair of vintage Cartier Santos Vendôme aviator sunglasses (frame design year: 1983). This iconic, timeless model, size 56 ▢ 14 (unisex), has undergone high-end aftermarket jewelry customization after purchase. A grand pave of natural diamonds has been meticulously set on the bridge as well as the lateral hinges and the branch logo “C,” transforming this historic frame into a true piece of precious metalwork.
Gemological Characteristics (Certificate Included)
The setting underwent careful examination certified by Gioielleria Corvino Antonio on 30/05/2018:
- Stone nature: 100% natural diamonds
- Color: G (Very White)
- Clarity: VS1 (Very Slight Inclusions, invisible to the naked eye)
- Cut: Brilliant/Round Diamond Cut
- Total estimated weight: 72 PT (approximately 0.36 carat)
Materials, Specifications and Markings
- Frame: Yellow gold plated ( Cartier 22-karat gold finish from the original era )
- Ear tips: Bordeaux dark acetalate signed
- Lenses: Custom blue lenses with a superb gradient mirrored effect, providing perfect visual harmony with the diamonds’ sparkle
- Authenticity markings on the frame:
- Under the bridge: Engraved mention “ 1983 Cartier 56 - 14 ”
- Inside the left temple: Engraved “ Cartier PARIS MADE IN FRANCE ”
- Individual unique serial number: 1120210 (clearly legible and originally engraved on the frame)
Lot Inclusions (Exceptional Full Set)
The lot is offered in a remarkably complete condition, ideal for investment:
- The original Cartier red rigid case “Série Limitée,” bearing the official inscription “santos de Cartier Paris 701” printed on the back.
- The vintage international plastic warranty card, left completely blank (an absolutely rare profile on the vintage market).
- The original Must de Cartier maintenance booklet.
- The authentic original chamoisine (care cloth) bearing the Cartier logo.
- The official gemological certificate of authenticity for the diamond pave.
Condition
- Frame: Very good overall condition. Minor superficial wear traces and micro-scratches typical for its age. A light polishing to restore the gold to its original mirror-like luster would be beneficial.
- Lenses: Good overall condition. A slight micro-scratch is present at a peripheral corner (area completely out of the field of vision, absolutely invisible and non-intrusive when worn).
