Vintage 1980 Cartier Santos Two-Tone Gold & Platinum Finish Lighter with 18K Gold Screws – NOS Sealed Full Set

This exceptional Cartier Santos lighter, crafted in 1980, is one of the rarest and most desirable two-tone models ever produced within the prestigious Les Must de Cartier Santos collection. Preserved in factory-sealed New Old Stock (NOS) condition, this remarkable example has never been used or opened since leaving the factory, making it an outstanding survivor from Cartier’s golden era of lighter production.

Executed in a luxurious combination of heavy yellow gold and platinum finishes, the lighter features a refined brushed texture that beautifully enhances the architectural Santos design. One of its most distinctive features is the use of genuine 18K gold-filled screws, a signature element of the Santos collection that reflects Cartier’s uncompromising attention to detail and luxury craftsmanship.

The elegant contrast between the warm gold finish and cool platinum accents creates one of the most striking and collectible Santos configurations ever offered by the Maison. Produced in very limited numbers, this reverse two-tone variation is among the least frequently encountered vintage Santos models, making it highly sought after by advanced Cartier collectors.

Offered as a complete full set with its original presentation box and documents, this museum-quality example represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest vintage Cartier Santos lighters in untouched original condition.
