By the mid 1970s, Cartier has secured itself as a global name in luxury goods — namely jewelry, and of course, watches. But prior to this time, the maison was much smaller and produced far fewer goods. As such, anything prior to the early 1970s can be considered special, rare, and usually interesting... In fact, Cartier subcontracted a handful of other brands to produce watches for them: Movado, Piaget, Bulova, etc.
The piece that we have here is one of those watches. Manufactured by New York-based Bulova in circa 1958, this piece comes in at approximately 33mm in diameter and is fashioned out of 14k yellow gold. It features a 'stepped' case construction with stylized 'fancy' lugs, a caseback secured by a steel ring, and a beautiful dial within. The case shows normal signs of wear and some sleeve polish from age and retains defined factory finishing. The sunburst gold dial inside has lovely faceted applied indices and is in outstanding, virtually flawless condition. Of course, it bears the "Cartier" signature rendered in black on the top half, as well as "Automatic" on the lower half. The movement within is automatic-winding and has a Cartier-signed rotor. The caseback is also signed Cartier along with various specifications.
In addition to quite simply being a beautiful example of 1950s design, this piece represents fantastic value considering it's solid gold construction and the interesting story behind its genesis.
And we'll bet you don't see another anytime soon.
