Cartier Paris Chambord 18K YG (Ref. 10715) "Extra Plate", 1980s

Dealer description — Craft & Tailored

The Cartier name is synonymous with luxury and has been since the brand's inception in 1847. Offering bespoke and unique jewelry to the world’s elite allowed Cartier to grow steadily through the 19th century and eventually introduced new offerings to their clientele. This reference of the Cartier Chambord is best known amongst collectors as the "Extra Plate" or "Extra Thin" and is one of the thinnest Cartier watches ever produced and features a total thickness of 5mm excluding the crystal. This impressive feat is achieved through the utilization of the renowned Frederic Piguet Cal. 21 ultra-thin mechanical movement. Though this Cartier Chambord "Extra Plate" is one of the thinnest watches Cartier ever made, the cushion-shaped case maintains excellent visual dimensions, making for a perfectly proportioned timepiece.
