The 78097 Reference Is Coveted By Enthusiasts Because It Stays True To Loui Cartier's 1916 Design. It Retains The 25x36mm Foundation, The 4-6mm Ultra Thin Profile, And The Use Of A Manual Self-Winding Mechanical Movement - Something That Cartier Shortly Shifted Out Of On Masse For Quartz Movements.
This Timepiece Is In Immaculate Condition, And Shows Little To No Signs Of Wear For The Near Half Century It Has Existed. The Dial Shows No Signs Of Patina Or Spidering And The Crystal Is Free Of Blemishes. The Case, Bezel, And Caseback All Show Remarkably Small Scratches - Most Need A Loupe To Be Seen. There Is No Blemish That Distracts The Eye From The Beauty Of The Timepiece.
