Descriptif du lot

The Cristallor, which was only manufactured until the 1980s, is still regarded as one of Cartier's most striking and innovative wristwatch designs. It was first introduced as part of the Louis Cartier Collection in 1973, just after the brand's change in ownership. With serial numbers of most examples falling within just a few hundred digits, it is estimated that fewer than 1'000 pieces were ever made.

The Cristallor’s octagonal case and triple-stepped bezel frame a minimalist white Swiss-signed dial, showcasing Cartier’s rare ability to balance geometry, proportion, and elegance. Its comparatively large 35 x 28 mm case and concealed lugs give it a bold, contemporary appearance that feels as relevant today as it did fifty years ago.

The 'Swiss' signature at the bottom of the dial indicates that this timepiece was delivered to Cartier’s New York branch, a detail highly appreciated by collectors. This piece, which represents an intriguing period in Cartier's design history, combines uniqueness, rarity, and classic sophistication, all of which appeal to true Cartier purists.
