A c.2001 platinum finish Cartier ‘Godron’ butane lighter
The esteemed French marque’s lighters grew increasingly popular in the 1980s, presenting themselves as true rivals to S.T. Dupont’s Ligne 2 and Dunhill’s Rollagas
Most akin to Caran d’Ache lighters of a similar vintage, the ‘Godron’ finish Cartier was considered by many the height of tobacciana sophistication and elegance
This fine example is presented in wonderful cosmetic condition with few light signs of wear commensurate with age and use
The lighter is presented in its original box and outer box accompanied by the instructions booklet, a 2002 official service receipt and a purchase guarantee showing a purchase date of December 2001 from Cartier’s boutique on New Bond Street, London
Presented in very good working order with a good range of flame height adjustment
The flame can be adjusted to a height suitable for both cigarettes and cigars
