Powered by Cartier’s quartz movement and housed in the smaller 24mm Vendôme case, this reference combines the soft round proportions of the Vendôme line with a more casual and distinctive dial layout compared to traditional Roman numeral variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: none; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 16px 0 8px;\"\u003eWhy It’s Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eArabic numeral Must de Cartier dials appear far less frequently than standard Roman configurations, giving this piece a noticeably different personality while retaining the classic Cartier design language. The warm cream dial pairs particularly well with the rounded Vendôme case and blued steel hands, creating a softer and more understated vintage look. This example presents especially well visually, with a clean dial and strong overall vermeil tone for the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: none; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 16px 0 8px;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px;\"\u003eClean cream Arabic numeral dial presents very well overall, with crisp printing, no visible spotting, and no obvious moisture damage or dial degradation under normal viewing. Blued steel hands appear correct and well matched to the dial. Mineral crystal shows only light surface wear consistent with careful use. Vermeil case (sterling silver 925 with ≈ 20 µm gold plating) retains strong gold tone overall, with moderate surface scratching and light plating wear visible along high-contact edges and case sides consistent with age and normal wear. Blue cabochon crown appears original and intact. Case-back engravings remain sharp and legible. Fitted on a newer generic leather strap with a generic Cartier-style plated buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz movement running correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: none; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 16px 0 6px;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; padding: 0; list-style: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 2px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 590004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 2px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cartier quartz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 2px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 013453 (1988–1990)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 2px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 mm vermeil (sterling silver 925 with ≈ 20 µm gold plating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 2px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 2px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generic leather strap with generic plated buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 2px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInclusions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cartier service pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 2px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sourced from Japan and inspected in Melbourne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Curated Dial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48565181841640,"sku":null,"price":1850.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/7953\/1240\/files\/09-cartier-vendome-590004-hero.jpg?v=1779192345","url":"https:\/\/thecurateddial.com\/products\/cartier-vendome-vermeil-sm-arabic-dial-quartz-590004-1988-1990","provider":"The Curated Dial","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
