Overview
The 1970’s Vendome remains highly under-appreciated in the market today. Its interesting take on a circular watch design without lugs nor an integrated bracelet set it apart, yet the “chemin de fleur” dial and cabochon crown are immediately recognizable as classic Cartier. These underrated watches are a great entry point for collectors looking for something more unique that then standard Tank Louis.
Condition
This watch is in exceptional condition for its age. Case is unpolished with very minor scratches. Hands retain their bright blue color with no corrosion. Dial is absolutely flawless with no cracks. Movement is running well and keeping good time, yet last service date is not known. Strap is a new Cartier Alligator leather band. The Original 18k Deployant Clasp has only minor scratches from wear.
