This extremely rare early‑1970s Cartier lighter is crafted from solid 925 sterling silver and finished with a deep natural dark‑blue lacquer—one of the most sought‑after and uncommon lacquer colors ever produced by Cartier. This refined combination of precious metal and rich lacquer places the piece among the most collectible Cartier lighters from the Maison’s early production era.

Presented in the iconic oval Must de Cartier form, the lighter reflects Cartier’s dedication to elegance, precision craftsmanship, and timeless design. Preserved in good collector condition, it shows honest signs of age consistent with its history while maintaining strong visual presence and full functionality. Accompanied by its large red Cartier presentation box and original documents, this is a complete and increasingly difficult‑to‑find full set.
