Here we have a ladies 1990s Cartier Vermeil Ronde Vendome. It has a 24mm silver gilt case with the classic flexible T bar lugs of the Vendome reference. To the right it has the original crown with the sapphire cabochon insert. It has an uncommon black dial with roman numeral and diamond hour marks. It has the aged spider web crazing. The rear is signed with the reference 590004. Inside is the Cartier calibre 90 Quartz movement, which is functioning well with a new battery. It comes on the correct style strap, with the original Cartier deployment clasp. It is watch only, with no box or paperwork.
 
The dial has an eye-catching spider web crazing to the lacquered finish. It is a luxurious mix with the black base tone and the gilt roman numerals and diamond shaped hour markers. It has a classic railroad track with the Must De Cartier signing below 12. The spider crazed finish flickers in the light, showcasing the unique lines. The sword style hands are a gold tone and indicate the hours and minutes.
 
The case measures 24mm x 24mm, with a lug-to-lug measurement of 30.5mm. It is a neatly proportioned ladies watch, which is a comfortable wear with the sophistication of the flexible T bar lug design. The case is Vermeil, which is Silver gilt. There is a sterling silver base, with gold plating on top. To the right-hand side is the original crown with the iconic sapphire cabochon. The rear is a solid back, held in place with screws to the top and bottom. It is signed ‘Cartier Paris, Vermeil, Quartz’. It is marked as ‘Argent 925, Plaque or G 20M’. This describes the sterling silver composition with the 20 micron gold plating on top. It has the French hallmarking for Silver. It has the reference number 590004 to the bottom.
 
Inside is the Cartier calibre 90 Quartz movement. It is a 7-jewel movement which displays the hours and minutes. As expected with a Cartier movement, it has a good level of finishing with Geneve striping. It has a new battery fitted and is functioning well. 
 
It comes on the correct style leather strap which is not signed Cartier. It is worn, but has life left in it. It has the original Cartier deployment clasp with the C logo to the outside. 
 
This is a classic design of Cartier which has an eye catching dial with the spider crazing and mix of roman numerals and diamond markers. The classic cabochon crown, neat case design and elegance make this universally recognisable as a lovely Cartier watch.
