Vintage 1980 Cartier Oval 24k Gold Finish Gris Gray Lacquer Le Must Lighter

This beautiful vintage Cartier lighter was crafted in the 1980s and represents a refined example from the Le Must de Cartier series. Executed in an elegant oval form, the lighter features a 24k gold finish complemented by a sophisticated gris gray lacquer surface, reflecting Cartier’s distinctive design language of the period. A notable and highly desirable detail is the presence of an 18k gold ring integrated into the lighter door, a feature reserved for select examples and valued by collectors for its rarity and craftsmanship. Preserved with its original presentation set, this piece has never been filled and is therefore offered as untested, remaining in excellent original condition and retaining strong collector appeal.
