The Cartier Panthere was introduced in 1987. Named after "Le Panthere," Jeanne Toussaint, Cartier's first head of design, the watch exudes sophistication and confidence. The Panthere models have become highly collectible, as an icon of the 1980s and 1990s.
Dial is in good condition, with some wear from age. Case is very good, with minor scratches. Movement is running at time of cataloging. Overall, the present example is in very good condition.
Pre-owned watches, unless still in original packaging or never worn, will likely have some degree of wear and scratches. This should be expected for many of the watches offered in auction. Even if a watch is running, bidders and buyers should expect that all movements will require maintenance. Watches are not guaranteed to be keeping time. Fortuna recommends that all successful buyers promptly take their watches to a professional watchmaker for evaluation.
Any reference to condition in a condition report will not include a full description of condition, and for example, may not specify all faults, alteration, adaptation, mechanical replacements or imperfections to the movement, case, or dial. Colors and shades may look different online or in printed materials than they look on physical inspection, and images may not clearly show the condition of a lot. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot in person and make their own evaluation of the lot. They must understand that any statement made by Fortuna Auction LLC ("Fortuna") is merely a subjective, qualified statement and does not constitute a representation, warranty, or assumption of liability by Fortuna. All dimensions in catalog descriptions are approximate. No warranties are made that watches in water-resistant cases are currently water-resistant. Fortuna does not guarantee the authenticity of any individual component parts, such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets or leather bands, since subsequent repairs and restoration work may have resulted in the replacement of original parts.
