Description from the seller

We are offering at auction an undisputed symbol of class and elegance by Cartier: a refined lighter from the celebrated “Les Must de Cartier” line. Featuring a design with pure, unmistakable lines, this accessory combines the French maison’s exceptional craftsmanship with outstanding everyday functionality, confirming its status as a timeless cult object.

The lighter’s body is enhanced by a bright silver-tone finish, finely crafted with an elegant vertical ribbed pattern (godron finish). This texture not only lends the object’s silhouette considerable visual appeal, but also ensures a secure grip and a pleasant tactile feel. The smooth base is clearly stamped with the original factory markings, the Cartier name and the serial number, guaranteeing the piece’s absolute authenticity.

Mechanically, the lighter is in excellent condition. It has recently undergone meticulous, comprehensive professional servicing to ensure lasting, fully reliable performance. The lighter has been filled with the appropriate gas, fitted with a new flint and thoroughly tested: the roller mechanism operates perfectly smoothly, and the lighter is fully functional, producing a bright, steady and even flame.

This example is in good overall condition, being an appealing vintage object that has been used. Its construction is solid and its mechanics are impeccable. In keeping with our strict policy of complete transparency, please note the presence of expected signs of age, minor surface scratches and a natural patina of wear resulting from normal use over the years. These are concentrated mainly on the smooth surfaces, such as the base and top cover. These details bear witness to the object’s history, giving it an authentic period character without in any way diminishing its considerable aesthetic appeal.

To enhance and perfectly complete this lot, the lighter is offered with its prestigious, iconic original red “Les Must de Cartier” hard case, featuring refined light-colored contrasting interiors. An excellent opportunity to acquire a luxury accessory that has been fully serviced and is ready to accompany you in style every day.
