Cartier Ronde 1970s Manual Winding

Vintage Cartier watches have become very popular in recent years. In particular, models from before the 1970s, equipped with movements from manufacturers such as LeCoultre and EWC, have been popular among collectors recently, and their prices continue to soar.
This is a Cartier Ronde Louis from the 1970s.

It features a very rare, simple bar-index dial design for a Cartier watch.

The dial is a lacquered silver, with gold hands, and "Swiss Made" inscribed at the 6 o'clock position. (Based on the font style and other details, we infer that the "Swiss Made" inscription is original to the period.)
The font style of the serial number indicates that it is a Cartier from the 1970s.

This rare Ronde model symbolizes the history of Cartier. I believe it offers a unique appeal distinct from the Tank models.

Regarding its condition, the case has minor scratches but no significant dents.
The main numbers of the serial are still clearly visible.
The case back has some scratches, but its condition is good considering its age.

To preserve its original condition, it has undergone almost no polishing, and minor scratches have been left as they are.

The dial has some light scratches and minor dirt, but it is quite clean considering its age. There are no cracks.
The crystal is in very good condition with only minor scratches. There are no scratches that impair visibility.

This model is eligible for restoration service in Cartier's home country.
This service respects the watch's originality by providing maintenance that restores it as much as possible without changing the dial, movement, etc.

The buckle is an original Cartier 18K YG buckle from the same period (early 1970s-1980s).
