Cartier are undoubtedly known for their masterful and unique case designs which in recent years have caught more deserved attention from collectors the world over. The "Fabergé" is a seldom seen model, first appearing in the '70s and named after the famous jeweler to the Russian imperial family: Karl Faberge. This was part of a shift at the time to produce a larger variety of shapes from the Ceinture, Gondole, Cristallor and more. This model makes for a great option for anyone who appreciates Cartier's lesser-known offerings. 

This particular example is a larger variant with 26 x 32mm case and pairs well with medium to larger sized wrists. It has remained in stunning vintage condition with a sharp, unpolished case that shows deep, crisp hallmarks and markings. The white lacquer dial is also free of any crazing which is difficult to find in this period. It features a "Paris" signature and hidden "Cartier" signature at 7 o-clock. It comes on its correct 18k Cartier signed deployant and a Cartier signed gator strap in black. For any collector who appreciates top condition, we'd be hard pressed to find a nicer example.
