Cartier Vendome Louis Cartier LM PARIS Manual Winding YG/WG Combination D-Buckle

This is a rare model from the Louis Cartier collection, featuring a Two-Tone Yellow Gold and White Gold Vendôme with a PARIS Dial.
We are pleased to introduce Ref. 78211, a Vendôme Large Yellow Gold × White Gold Two-Tone Manual-Winding model.
This Vendôme combines several highly sought-after features: a Two-Tone case, a Manual-Winding movement, and a PARIS Dial.
Two-Tone Vendôme models were produced in very limited numbers and only for a limited period.
Production numbers were extremely low, and its availability in the market is thought to be comparable to that of the White Gold model.
Prices for 1970s White Gold Manual-Winding models from the Louis Cartier collection have risen considerably, while the Two-Tone models remain more accessible, making this one an excellent recommendation.
It is also in excellent condition, and the PARIS Dial is a particularly appealing combination.
The case has only light hairline scratches overall, with few significant dents or marks, and is in very good condition.
It has been polished minimally and does not appear worn down, while the caseback also has very few scratches.
The crystal is original and has relatively few scratches.
Within the visible range, the dial has some fine cracking, though it is not particularly noticeable from a distance. It can be seen only upon close inspection under certain lighting. (If you would like a closer look, please contact us and we will send you a video.)
Aside from this, the PARIS Dial has almost no scratches or stains and only slight discoloration. The hands are also free of discoloration and retain their beautiful blued-steel finish.
The Buckle is an original period Cartier 18k White Gold Deployant Buckle, and the watch comes with a new Cartier custom Strap.
A custom Strap can also be made to order through our shop for an additional fee. Please contact us if needed.
