Description from the seller

Rarely available in this design, this vintage Cartier “PLAQUE OR G” lighter with its bold vertical line pattern is highly sought after among collectors. Its distinctive geometric form and luxurious gold-plated finish make it a standout piece that draws immediate attention when listed at auction.

[Authenticity]
The base is engraved with “Cartier – Paris,” “PLAQUE OR G,” hallmark stamp, and the serial number “1C72792,” confirming it as a fully authentic Cartier production.

[Appearance]
Features a striking vertical-line gold-plated exterior with a strong architectural presence. Shows visible signs of age, including scratches, line wear, dulling, and small plating loss near the edges—consistent with long-term vintage use. Despite this, the lighter retains a bold and elegant Cartier aesthetic. Please review the photos for detailed condition.

[Functionality]
Basic ignition tested and confirmed. As a vintage luxury lighter, a professional overhaul is recommended for extended use. Other functions are untested and not covered by warranty.

[Accessories]
Everything shown in the photos is included (Cartier presentation box).

[Shipping]
- FedEx International
- Estimated delivery time: Approximately 1 week (may vary by country/region)
- Packaging: We will carefully pack your order using protective materials.
- Customs duties/import fees may apply depending on the country.
