Cartier Crash

About this reference

The Cartier Crash reference 2463 in 18k pink gold was produced as a limited edition of 267 pieces, released in the early 1990s as part of the Paris collection. This reference is distinguished by its 38mm by 23mm asymmetrical case and the manual-wind Caliber 160 movement. Collectors prioritize this specific reference due to its "Paris" signed dial and the use of pink gold, which is less common than the yellow gold variants from the same era. The case features a beaded crown set with a sapphire cabochon and a solid caseback secured by four screws. On the secondary market, this reference typically commands prices in the mid-to-high six-figure range, often between $250,000 and $450,000 depending on condition. A notable auction result occurred in 2021 when a well-preserved example of this pink gold series sold for approximately $350,000, reflecting sustained demand for limited Paris-signed production runs.
