This piece is not a Cartier: it is a Citizen, a Japanese manufacture, that echoes the same rectangular silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Citizen house?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCitizen is one of the largest Japanese watch manufactures, founded in 1918. Renowned for the reliability of its quartz movements and its innovations (such as Eco-Drive technology), it produces both dress watches and technical models. It is a benchmark Japanese brand, appreciated for its value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the case solid gold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is a gold-plated case over a steel base.

With a 17 mm wide case and a very slim profile, it is a delicately sized watch, ideal for a slender wrist. Its elongated rectangular silhouette and Roman numeral dial make it a particularly elegant dress piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this Citizen watch vintage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Dated from the early 1980s, it is well beyond the thirty-year threshold generally retained for the term “vintage.” It is an authentic vintage Citizen watch, a testament to Japanese savoir-faire in quartz dress watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Citizen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54132713029969,"sku":"2101800 2200-222091.YO","price":285.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_03936.jpg?v=1782911502","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-citizen-gold-plated-rectangular-watch-white-dial-1982","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
