This is an extremely rare gas lighter featuring natural tiger's eye stone inlay decoration. Specs like this piece, boldly featuring natural stone arranged vertically, were produced in very limited quantities and are almost never seen on the market. The distinctive striped pattern and deep, luminous sheen of tiger's eye change expression depending on the angle of light, giving this industrial product a presence akin to a one-of-a-kind piece. The contrast between the refined, gold-plated form and the organic character of the natural stone embodies the aesthetic sensibility of Cartier in the 1970s and 80s. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) Condition Minor scuffs and small scratches from age are visible, but overall it is in good vintage condition. The tiger's eye section shows natural inclusions and patterns inherent to the stone. The Cartier engraving and serial number on the base are clear. Please refer to the photos for details. Functionality The lighter ignites and produces a flame at the time of photography; however, as a vintage item, long-term functionality is not guaranteed. Professional servicing is recommended before regular use. Accessories Original Cartier presentation box and paperwork are included (as shown).
