Lot Essay

The Cartier Crash was first introduced in the late 1960s, available only in yellow gold and sold exclusively at Cartier of London. With the first series comprising of only 15 examples, modern variations were introduced in the early 1990s as limited editions with a special Crash deployant buckle.

Alluding to Salvador Dali’s painting The persistence of Memory, 1931, exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, these highly desirable timepieces are highly coveted by collectors.

The present lot’s appeal is further increased through its beautiful platinum case, preserved in excellent overall condition.
