Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Cartier Clé de Cartier watch, and how does it wear? A: This watch has a 35 mm case, which gives it a refined, versatile presence on the wrist. Buyers often choose this size for its balanced look: elegant and noticeable without feeling oversized.
Q: Is this watch automatic or battery-powered? A: It has an automatic movement, so it is powered by wrist motion rather than a battery. This model also features an exhibition case back, allowing you to view the movement.
Q: Does this watch have a date function? A: Yes, this Clé de Cartier features a date display on the dial, making it practical for everyday wear as well as dressier occasions.
Q: What are the main design features of this watch? A: This piece features a stainless steel case, a silvered guilloché dial with blue Roman numerals, a key-shaped crown set with a blue cabochon, and a black leather strap. These are signature details that give the Clé de Cartier its distinctive elegant look.
Q: Is the strap original, and what fastening does it have? A: The watch comes with its original buckle according to the product information. It is fitted with a black leather strap and a pin buckle closure.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: The overall condition is rated Very Good. The external condition notes light traces of use, the internal condition is very good, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. As this is a pre-owned piece, minor signs of wear are normal.
Q: Is the Clé de Cartier suitable for everyday wear? A: Yes, many collectors choose the Clé de Cartier as an everyday luxury watch because of its wearable 35 mm size, automatic movement, and classic Cartier styling. As with most fine watches on leather straps, it is best treated with care and kept away from unnecessary moisture and impact.
Q: Is this watch water-resistant? A: The Clé de Cartier line in this size is generally associated with light everyday water resistance rather than sports-watch use. For a watch on a leather strap, we recommend avoiding water exposure to help preserve the strap and overall condition.
Q: What year and reference is this watch? A: According to the product information, this watch dates to 2020 and has reference number 3856. Those details can be helpful for collectors comparing different Clé de Cartier examples.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: This listing includes the original buckle. Everything included is shown in the product information; if a box, papers, or other extras are not listed there, they should not be assumed to be included.
