Cartier Must de Tank lapis MECHANIQUE

Must de Cartier Méchanique “Lapis” – 23 mm, 1990s | Gold-Capped Case

Highlights:

• Case: 23 mm gold-capped over sterling silver (Vermeil), excellent condition with the original caseback stickerstill intact — a rare survivor.

• Dial: Deep blue lacquered dial with Lapis-style finish — Cartier’s signature simulated stone look from the Must line. Striking color and texture, often mistaken for genuine Lapis Lazuli.

• Era: 1990s — part of the iconic Must de Cartier mechanical series.

• Strap: Currently on a high-quality aftermarket leather strap. The original Cartier leather strap is included (worn), preserved off-watch.

• Clasp: Comes with the original Cartier gold-tone pin buckle — authentic to the watch and well-preserved.

A clean, minimalist, and quietly luxurious piece from Cartier’s golden era of design. Rare in this condition, and increasingly hard to source with original buckle and accessories intact.
