Notes

The present Crash represents one of the most striking and elusive interpretations of Cartier’s iconic asymmetrical design. Crafted in yellow gold and enhanced by diamond-set decoration, the watch was produced in 1992, shortly after the celebrated limited Paris editions, and manufactured only in a handful of examples. Combining the surrealist case architecture that made the Crash one of the most recognisable creations in modern watch design with the refined brilliance of diamond setting, the present example possesses exceptional visual presence and considerable rarity. Preserved in an exceptionally attractive configuration, this highly exclusive reference embodies the creativity and audacity associated with Cartier’s most legendary creations.
