Cristalor 78096

Cartier designs are something different – classic and timeless. Like this 1970s Cristalor in white gold. The Cristalor is nicknamed after the casemaker N°104 Cristalor; one could also think of the sculptural case, which resembles a crystal or a diamond.

This example has certainly spent time on the wrist over the last 50 years, which shows in some scratches and dents on the case. Still, it is in very nicely preserved and honest condition. The dial has taken on a lovely cream patina, without any hairlines, with a nice oxidation on the border where it touches the bezel.

I personally really like these Cristalors – they have a very special wrist presence. And in white gold they are very rare to find.
