With a similar number of known watches as our Rolex Oyster Perpetual, this perfect replica Cartier London Decagon offered at a small auction house in Oakland popped up in my searches this week. I was shocked, to say the least. In fact, I figured it was fake. Just to be sure, I reached out to Clars Auctions, the seller, requesting a photo of the movement and inside caseback. Turns out, it’s real.
When a CA high quality fake Cartier London watches like this comes up for sale, it can warrant a full-blown Hodinkee article on its own. The magic of London-made watches in this period has been covered over and over and backed up by the market time and time again, but it’s worth reiterating. What you get in Cartier London is a lot of the same charm as the earliest 1910s Cartier watches, in that they are handmade, one at a time, but with 1960s techniques and understanding – plus, these London watches are simply more wearable. Swiss fake Cartier London watches are more than just the original Crash, Pebble, and Maxi Oval; we see other odd-yet-true-to-the-Cartier-aesthetic shapes from London in the 1960s. The Decagon is one of these shapes.
The last Decagon to go to auction well exceeded estimates, selling for €55,900 all-in at Monaco Legends Group in October of 2021. I was lucky enough to handle two Decagons on a visit to Justin Gruenberg’s shop, The Keystone, and I can confirm the model is really special. It’s actually somewhat ugly, or as Malaika Crawford put it, “ugly beautiful.”
Bidder beware: If you haven’t clocked it by now, this Decagon at Clars is fitted with what appears to be a later top copy Cartier service dial. It hurts the value but does not make it any less rare. Bid accordingly!
This online fake Cartier London Decagon is lot 5115 of the Exquisite Diamonds & Watches Auction at Clars Auctions.
