Cartier Panthere Vendome 24mm Gold Watch

Q: What size is this Cartier Panthere Vendome watch?
A: The case measures 24 mm, giving it a refined vintage look that wears elegantly and discreetly on the wrist. It is ideal if you prefer a smaller, jewellery-like watch rather than an oversized style.

Q: What materials and features does this watch have?
A: This piece is crafted in 18K yellow gold and features a cream dial with Roman numerals, a sapphire cabochon crown, a hidden folding clasp and a quartz movement.

Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic?
A: This model uses a quartz movement, so it is battery-powered rather than self-winding. Many buyers choose vintage Panthere models for their slim profile, reliability and easy everyday wear.

Q: What wrist size will it fit?
A: The bracelet perimeter is approximately 15 cm as currently configured. If you need a different fit, resizing may be possible depending on link availability, and it is best handled by a qualified watchmaker or authorised Cartier service specialist.

Q: What is the condition of this watch?
A: The watch is described as being in very good condition. There are light scratches on the case and bracelet, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface wear consistent with careful vintage use.

Q: Does it come with box, papers or other included items?
A: This watch is listed with no additional product information included. Everything supplied with the piece is shown in the product information on this page.

Q: How often does a Cartier quartz watch need a battery change?
A: Cartier advises that quartz watches typically have an average battery life of at least three years, although this can vary with age and use. For a vintage watch, battery replacement should be done by a qualified professional, and a flat battery should not be left inside the watch.

Q: Can I wear this watch every day?
A: Yes, many collectors wear Panthere models daily thanks to their comfortable bracelet design and slim quartz profile. As this is a vintage 18K gold watch, it is best treated with extra care and kept away from knocks, chemicals and unnecessary water exposure unless it has recently been pressure-tested.

Q: How do you authenticate this watch?
A: At A Retro Tale, each watch is carefully checked by in-house experts. Authentication includes reviewing details such as materials, hallmarks, dial layout, movement type, case construction and reference details to help ensure the piece is authentic.
