Lot Essay

The Cartier Crash was first introduced in late 1967, available only in yellow gold and sold exclusively at the Cartier Boutique London. At the time, Cartier Paris, Cartier London and Cartier New York were operated separately as they were in the hands of different owners.

The present watch is a re-edition of the celebrated Crash model by Cartier in a bejeweled interpretation in platinum and set with 528 diamonds weighing approximately 3.30 carats. The watch is further enhanced by an exquisite skeletonized dial showcasing the technical prowess of the maison’s craftsmen. This present watch is numbered 60 of a limited edition of 67 examples only.
