Vintage Early 1990 Cartier Les Must Plaqué Or G Heavy 24K Gold Finish Double Vertical Line Pattern Lighter – Mint Full Set

This exceptional vintage Cartier Les Must lighter, crafted in the early 1990s, is one of the rarest early models produced within the prestigious Les Must de Cartier collection. Beautifully executed in a luxurious heavy 24K gold finish, this elegant lighter bears the original “Plaqué Or G” hallmark stamped beneath the lighter, confirming its authentic factory heavy gold finish.

A defining characteristic of this rare early version is its distinctive double vertical line engraved pattern, a refined decorative design found on only a limited number of early Les Must models. The clean architectural engraving, combined with the rich gold finish, creates a sophisticated appearance that perfectly reflects Cartier’s timeless design philosophy and exceptional craftsmanship.

Produced during the early years of the Les Must collection, this configuration is seldom encountered on today’s collector’s market and is regarded as one of the more unusual and desirable engraved variants. Its elegant proportions, luxurious heavy gold finish, and early production features make it an outstanding collector’s piece representing an important period in Cartier’s lighter history.
