About The Cartier Vendôme 78091:
The Cartier Vendôme is one of Cartier’s refined vintage dress watch designs, named after Place Vendôme in Paris, where Cartier’s historic boutique is located. The model reflects the maison’s classic approach to watch design: precious metal construction, Roman numeral dial, cabochon crown, and elegant case proportions.
