Cartier - Lighter - Chinese lacquer

COLLECTOR'S MASTERPIECE: CARTIER “LES MUST” LIGHTER (1986) – MUSEUM-CONDITION FULL SET A rare and extraordinary opportunity for the most discerning collectors and lovers of timeless luxury. We present an iconic 1986 Cartier Paris “Les Must” lighter, preserved in a condition that calling exceptional would be an understatement: genuine museum condition. ITEM DETAILS • Iconic Design: The legendary five-sided (pentagonal) model, a cornerstone of 1980s elegance. Its unmistakable asymmetrical silhouette fits perfectly in the hand. • Outstanding Finish: Beautiful, precious tortoiseshell-effect Chinese lacquer. The lacquer’s warm, nuanced tones create a striking contrast with the yellow-gold-plated finishes and trim, which retain their original 1986 shine. • Condition (Grade AAA+): The piece has none of the usual chipped corners, deep scratches, or loss of gilding typical of vintage examples. The lacquer is mirror-smooth and pristine. The retractable horizontal flint wheel mechanism is smooth, precise, and in perfect working order, with an impeccable valve seal. THE COMPLETE SET (FULL SET - BOX & PAPERS) This lot represents more than the purchase of a lighter: it is the recovery of a true time capsule. It is offered complete with all its original period accessories: 1. The Original Cartier Case: The celebrated, elegant red hard case with gold trim and a velvet-and-silk interior, perfectly preserved. 2. Certificate of Authenticity and Warranty: The original Cartier documents from the period, essential for establishing the piece’s provenance and historical value. 3. The Extremely Rare Operating Manual: The original instruction booklet for maintenance and cleaning. An exceptionally hard-to-find detail, guiding the owner in the meticulous care of the piece, preserved without writing or tears. Elegance, distinction, colonial colors, worthy of an auction-house lot
