Vintage Must de Cartier Vendôme Moonphase Watch
This is a vintage wristwatch featuring a round silver-toned case, likely sterling silver with a gold-plated (vermeil) finish, though the plating shows significant wear. The dial is white with black Roman numeral hour markers and a distinct moon phase complication at the 12 o'clock position, displaying a blue sky with gold-tone stars. It includes a small date window at the 6 o'clock position. The dial is marked with 'Must de Cartier' and 'SWISS MADE' at the bottom. The hands are a dark, possibly blued steel or black finish. The watch is attached to a heavily used black leather strap with visible creasing and cracking. Regarding condition, there is extensive tarnish and loss of the gold plating on the bezel and lugs, revealing the darker base metal beneath. The crystal appears to have several fine surface scratches. The crown is a small, fluted gold-toned piece. This style is consistent with late 20th-century production, likely from the 1980s or 1990s. The overall craftsmanship is characteristic of the 'Must de' line, intended as a more accessible luxury series by Cartier, utilizing quartz movements in vermeil cases.
