These dials have developed a cult following among collectors due to the unique way the lacquer ages over time, creating a texture and character impossible to replicate. No two examples age the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"804\"\u003eThe elegant round Vendôme case with its floating lugs and signature blue cabochon crown gives the watch a distinctly refined Parisian aesthetic, while the rich blue dial transforms dramatically depending on the light. Combined with the warm gold-plated vermeil case, it perfectly captures the bold yet understated design language Cartier became famous for during the Must de Cartier era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"806\" data-end=\"964\"\u003eThis example shows beautiful honest aging throughout the dial and case, giving it the kind of character vintage Cartier enthusiasts actively search for today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"986\"\u003eTechnical background\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"1461\"\u003eThe Must de Cartier collection was introduced in the 1970s as Cartier’s more accessible prêt-à-porter line, helping define luxury fashion watches for an entirely new generation. The Vendôme became one of the most elegant interpretations of the period with its minimalist round case and hidden lug architecture. The so-called “lapis” dials are in reality lacquer dials designed to imitate natural stone, with many examples developing attractive spider cracking over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1473\"\u003eTech sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"1771\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eReference: 17007250\u003cbr data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1497\"\u003eMovement: Quartz\u003cbr data-start=\"1513\" data-end=\"1516\"\u003eDial: Blue lacquer “lapis” spider dial\u003cbr data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eCase: Gold-plated vermeil case\u003cbr data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1590\"\u003eCrystal: Sapphire crystal\u003cbr data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1618\"\u003eCase size: Approx. 30mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1644\"\u003eLug width: 17mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1662\"\u003eCondition: Vintage condition with attractive dial craquelé\u003cbr data-start=\"1720\" data-end=\"1723\"\u003eWarranty: 2-year warranty\u003cbr data-start=\"1748\" data-end=\"1751\"\u003eStrap: Leather strap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perpetual Watch Lover (PWL)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54330582499657,"sku":null,"price":1450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0238\/6352\/5456\/files\/DSF0166.jpg?v=1778160554","url":"https:\/\/perpetualwatchlover.com\/products\/cartier-must-ronde-lapis","provider":"Perpetual Watch Lover (PWL)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
