Cartier Ellipse LM Manual Winding PARIS Dial Extension Bracelet Cartier Original Bracelet

Introducing the Ellipse LM Paris dial, released as part of the Louis Cartier Collection around 1970-1980.
While the Ellipse typically comes with a leather band, this piece features a rare Cartier extension bracelet from the 1990s, giving it a distinctive feel.

The Ellipse LM Paris dial itself is rare, but the Cartier extension bracelet is particularly noteworthy.
According to records, it was sold in 1992 and appears to have been paired with the Tank Louis.
As shown in the image, the entire bracelet expands, allowing it to fit comfortably even if your wrist is slightly smaller.
Furthermore, the gentle stretch of the extension leaves minimal marks, making it very comfortable to wear, which is a big plus.
This type of bracelet is extremely rare for Cartier, so it's unlikely you'll find many others.
Since it's set with spring bars, it can easily be switched back to a leather band, and it should also be possible to attach it to other Cartier watches if the size matches.

The overall condition is very good.
The dial is generally clean with few scratches or discoloration, but there are faint hairline cracks throughout.
These are barely visible unless you look closely under certain lighting conditions, and given it's a Paris dial, it has been left as is (it's hard to see in photos, but we can send a video if you wish).
The case is also in good condition. While there are minor scratches, there are few dents, and it has been intentionally left mostly unpolished to preserve its original state.
The case back is also clean with only minor scratches. The serial number is clearly preserved.
The glass also has few scratches, and overall, considering its age, the general condition is quite excellent.
The bracelet has minor scratches but is very clean.
As it's a very rare bracelet, it has been left unpolished. (Please let us know if you would like it polished).
Naturally, there is almost no sagging or stretching.
Although the wrist circumference may appear small, it stretches well, so it's suitable for those with an average wrist size.
