Encased in a platinum and diamond-set oval-shaped case, the present Cartier wristwatch from circa 1960 is most definitely an iconic design of the famed house of luxury. However, what is most interesting about this present example is the presence of early hallmarks on the case back and clasp. The caseback is inscribed with initials “S.P” as well as a retailer hallmark stamped “EJ” and a “dog’s head” hallmark which indicates the case material to be determined as platinum instead of the usual “950” hallmark that is commonly seen. Furthermore, the clasp is stamped with two hallmarks to determine two different materials used for the construction of the clasp. Sitting on top the same “dog's head” hallmark symbolizes platinum and right below another “eagle head” hallmark is present which refers to 18K white gold.

Preserved in all original condition and further accompanied by the original Cartier presentation box, this present example is an elegant timepiece fit for the discerned vintage collector.
