Notes

Property of an important lady collector

The Cartier Crash, conceived in 1967 at Cartier London under Jean-Jacques Cartier, stands as one of the Maison’s most iconic and radical creations. This diamond-set example Ref. 2774 was produced in the 2000s, only in very limited numbers and remains scarce on the market.

The present example has been carefully preserved for nearly twenty years in the collection of a Hong Kong-based lady collector and is offered in excellent overall condition, the engravings and hallmarks remaining deep and crisp. It is accompanied by the original Cartier fitted box, certificate, and booklet.
