Things you should know

This Cartier Panthère PM Ref. 1320 is in excellent condition, offering a strong case with only minimal signs of wear. The edges retain their well-defined bevels, highlighting the careful use of the watch over time. The mirror-polished bezel has a few superficial scratches, with a slightly more noticeable one at 7 o’clock, adding a subtle reminder of its history while not detracting from its overall refined appearance.

The lugs, bearing light scratches from the bracelet, show typical signs of wear, while the inner lugs have light marks, consistent with regular use, which in no way affect the watch's functionality.

The crystal remains in good condition with only superficial scratches that are visible primarily under strong light. These do not interfere with the legibility of the dial, ensuring clarity remains intact.

The caseback is well-preserved, with all engravings, including the serial number, still crisp and clear. Though a few minor nicks and scratches are present, they do not detract from the legibility or quality of the engravings.

The dial and hands are in excellent condition, with the hands showing no signs of oxidation. The dial, which has developed a light greyish tone, maintains its crispness, while the black Roman numerals remain bold and highly legible, offering a pleasing contrast.

The bracelet is strong and in great shape, contributing to the overall integrity of the timepiece. All key components—the case, dial, bracelet, and movement—bear the Cartier signature, ensuring its authenticity.
