Whether inspired by a watch damaged in a car crash, as the legend says, or the result of the incredible creativity and craft of Cartier London, it is indisputable the Crash is nowadays considered one of the most sought-after models on the market. The Cartier Crash was first introduced in late 1967, available only in yellow gold and sold exclusively at the Cartier Boutique London. At the time, Cartier Paris, Cartier London and Cartier New York were operated separately as they were in the hands of different owners. This lot has been manufactured in 18k pink gold with hooded lugs, bezel sets with diamonds, diamond-set winding crown, exaggerated silvered dial with Roman numerals, secret signature at 7, blued steel hands, asymmetric case and completed by the Cartier buckle.
