Cartier

For sale is a Swiss Made Cartier Panthere with reference number 187 949, a vintage stainless steel and gold women's or unisex watch. This iconic design features a 27mm rectangular case with solid gold bezel. Behind the sapphire crystal sits a champagne tone dial with black Roman numerals and a so-called inside railroad minute track. Blued steel hands indicate the hours, minutes and seconds, and a date window can be found at the 5 O'Clock position. The date can be quick-set using the crown, which is original and features the trademark blue sapphire cabochon stone. Inside, we find a Swiss Made Cartier Calibre 87, a high quality quartz movement with 7 jewels. It has been checked, received a fresh battery, and is accurately keeping time.

The watch comes fitted to its original stainless steel bracelet, with two rows of solid gold links along the length. The current bracelet size fits wrists with a circumference of approximately 18cm. One extra bracelet link is included, allowing the watch to fit wrists with a maximum circumference of approximately 19.5cm. Decreasing the size of the bracelet is easily done by removing some links. In order to increase the size past the maximum of 19.5cm, extra bracelet links will need to be sourced online or at a dealership.

The example sold here has been worn, but is still in good condition. You will find some wear marks on the case when closely examining the watch, but no coarse or deep scratches. The watch is unpolished and therefore in original shape, with sharp lines and edges. The glass is clean except for one scratch between 2 and 6 O'clock. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch has been checked, received a new battery and is accurately keeping time.

The watch is sold as a complete set: it comes in its original red and gold Cartier box, together with the original "Certificat de Garantie Internationale" as well as the original Cartier wax seal tag. The certificate shows that the watch was originally purchased in September 1991 in Belgium. The item ships tracked and insured, will be securely packaged and dispatched using the local postal service (BPost) unless otherwise requested.
