Condition

First things first, the caseback sticker confirms the watch was recently serviced by Cartier. The case is in amazing condition. The watch is paired with a handmade strap in lizard and a Cartier buckle. The Paris Dial is in great condition with very light spidering.

There truly isn't a lot out there about the Vendome, but this is what we know. The Cartier Vendome, introduced in the 1970s, pays tribute to the iconic Place, Vendome Square, where the flagship Cartier boutique is located.
Featuring a round case and a lack of traditional vertical lugs connecting the case to the bracelet. It is essentially a Cartier Tank that has been molded into an elegant round case.

This specific reference is the large size, which is also done in solid yellow gold. The quartz movement helps keep the case profile slim and the vertical lugs pull away from traditional round watch cases. The dial, the same as what you would find on a Tank Louis, features the iconic PARIS stamp under six o'clock and blued hands. If this was a Tank it would be triple or even quadruple the price which proves that the Vendome brings serious value to the Cartier market.

Cartier, a luxury watch brand, has been synonymous with elegance, innovation, and timeless appeal since its inception in 1847. The brand's early creations, including the Cartier Santos and Cartier Tank, were an embodiment of aesthetic innovation and mechanical mastery, merging the finesse of jewelry with the functionality of timekeeping. As the brand grew, so did the family's involvement, as the children and grandchildren of Louis-François Cartier expanded the business and opened boutiques in various cosmopolitan cities.
The turn of the 20th century marked a revolutionary phase for Cartier, with the introduction of the Cartier Santos, which was designed for the famous aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont and became one of the first wristwatches designed explicitly for men. The Cartier Tank watch, inspired by the geometric design of military tanks, was a symbol of modernity and minimalistic elegance. The uniquely shaped Cartier Tonneau broke away from conventional circular designs, demonstrating Cartier's commitment to artistic creativity and mechanical excellence.
Cartier's success in the early 20th century was not limited to its pioneering designs; it also saw an era of global expansion that cemented its status as an international symbol of luxury and prestige. By 1902, Cartier opened its doors in London, positioning the brand within one of the world's major cultural and financial hubs. In 1909, Cartier opened its New York boutique, tapping into the vibrant American market.
Through strategic collaborations with local artisans, careful selection of materials, and a deep understanding of regional tastes, Cartier transformed from a Parisian marvel into an international sensation. The Cartier watch became more than a French luxury; it became a global emblem of style and refinement, transcending geographical boundaries to become a timeless classic. This era of expansion validated Cartier's enduring appeal, demonstrating that true luxury, as epitomized by Cartier's watches, knows no borders and speaks a universal language of elegance and excellence.
